Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

The world s most odious odes, from Solyman Brown s epic poem of 1833: The Dentologia A Poem on the Diseases of the Teeth to James Henry Powell s Lines Written for a Friend on the Death of His Brother, Caused by a Railway Train Running Over Him Whilst He Was in a State of Inebriation. "

Reseña del editor:

We all need a bit of poetry in our lives - to inspire and to elevate. But what happens when poetry goes wrong and how bad can it get? Stephen Robins has scoured the anthologies of the world to collect together the most delightful examples of really awful poetry. Each featured poet is introduced with a light-hearted discussion of his or her life, exploring their published works, fame and reputation. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into these poems, and you the reader have the delight and pleasure of judging for yourself whether they were worth all the poet's effort. This treasure trove of poetic disasters should entertain even the most cynical reader.
