250 Poems,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 250 Poems: A Portable Anthology (Paperback)
I purchased this 'education' edition of the book for a poetry class, only to find that some students were using the First Edition, and some were using the Second Edition that I purchased. First, as usual, an 'education' edition is far beyond the price of regular 'popular' books. Second, the poetry arrangement was totally different in each edition; and, several poets and/or poems were simply left out of the Second Edition. Please consult with the instructor before purchasing the book if the class is going to be on the same page together.

I needed this book for poetry class and bought it on amazon because it was a bit cheaper and I could start reading some of the poems in the book at my leisure. I really like poetry so it is a book that I kept and didn't mind ordering on here instead.
Where would I be if I could not read thee my wonderful book of poetry.
