I liked the old favorites. It's good to see that they are still around. They are poems that everyone knows and, as the author said at the end of the book, poetry has almost become a lost art. Families used to sit together and read poetry. One was also able to attend poetry readings in public places. These things have all but disappeared in my lifetime. With smartphones, computers, DVDs, and satellite TVs, people are too distracted. I am so glad that I was exposed to poetry at a very early age, because it became a lifelong pursuit for me. This is an excellent book! 👍
