Lasting Lines: 100 Poems and Poets That You Should Know

I am drawn to books like this, books you can read a page or two here and there and then flip ahead and flip back. I call them browsable books, and this one is perfect for that. Lasting Lines is a collection of the most famous lines of poetry from one hundred poets, along with a short paragraph about the poets' lives.

There are poets here from (mostly) England, Australia, and the US, but there are a nice selection of women as well as men, and older poets as well as more recent ones.
