The Essential Poetry Collection (Box Set) Paperback

This beautiful boxed set is a classy group of ten top poets ever. If you’ve never really understood poetry, or if you have but want to learn more from great poems, then this is the book for you.

Poets like Manley Hopkins, Rilke, Yeats, Czeslaw Milosz, Jack Gilbert, and Katie Donovan are all included, along with many other poets, writers, and translators in the collection called *Staying Alive*, which is the world’s best-selling anthology of modern poetry.

This edition has been expanded, featuring forty poets — including ten new ones — from thirty-five countries.

It gives readers a look into the life that I have. There’s a long and helpful introduction, a notes section where poets talk about their work, and a set of indexes to help you find the right poem, including an index of poetic forms.

Plus, there’s a great journal where readers can write down their thoughts the first time they read a poem or even start writing their own! These works are soulful, sweet, and funny at times, and they have delighted many readers, and will keep doing so for years to come.
