This inclusive book of poetry has something for everyone--even those who don't like poetry. Burns, the editor, has collected his own favorite poems in one volume, then arranged them under different headings based on their themes. The poems range from Chaucer and Shakespeare to "Jabberwocky" to poems written in the late 20th century. The collection is eclectic, but somehow is held together by the different headings. I can't keep my copy on the shelf, as people are constantly discovering the book and borrowing it. Definitely worth the read.
