Críticas

"Well-organized anthology... The book has a stellar cast: Tennyson, Milton, Blake, Dickinson, and Bronte join more modern writers such as Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, W. H. Auden, Robert Frost... For poetry studies, for students who just enjoy the genre, and for the fascination with the millennia that is sure to transfer into reports, this collection is certainly of the moment."--School Library Journal "Wide-ranging, colorfully illustrated anthology... Best suited to YA readers, though many poems are excellent for reading aloud to younger children."--The Horn Book Guide "Both parents and children will enjoy these poems about seasons, memories, clocks, and the passage of time....
