This review is from: Wordsworth: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) (Hardcover)

This selection is divided into four sections: The Poets Life, Memorial Poems, Sonnets, Narrative Poems. It contains many of the greatest and most memorable lyrics of Wordsworth. It is a fine introduction to his work.
Wordsworth is a poet whose connection with the natural world was cardinal to his poetry. One can feel often in his perception of the outdoor world, a soul enhanced by the very act of seeing. Much of this seeing was done in walking. And his famous definition of poetry as ' the overflow of powerful emotion recollected in tranquillity' hints that that powerful emotion came often through seeing and being in the natural world.

This review is from: Wordsworth: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) (Hardcover)

I ordered this book for my boyfriend's birthday thinking i was going to get a "brand new" book like it had said, but that was not the case. I recieved the book 3 weeks later, a week after his birthday, and had to spend an hour erasing notes that could be found on EVERY page. The bookmark was frayed and messy, the cover had marks on it, and each page had different notes and writing on it; that doesn't sound "brand new" to me. I wish the company would have been straight up about its condition to begin with. Overall though, the book was good, the service sucked.
