3.0 out of 5 stars Great Poems/Lousy Copy, February 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Poems of Pleasure (Paperback)

The poems of this book are wonderful, as are all of the author's writings. But this particular edition looks as if someone has simply zeroxed a copy of the original edition (and it isn't even a very nice copy). I would suggest buying this one used rather than this version.

5.0 out of 5 stars A collection of very heartfelt poems byh a true poet., October 6, 1999

This review is from: Poems of Pleasure (Paperback)

Ella Wheeler Willcox is a true poet. Check out The Birth of the Opal for the poem that convinced me right off the bat that she was a master of her craft. Contemporary poets who write in the romantic tradition (and are not afraid to rhyme) will find Willcox to be a great inspiration.
