Poetry Books--The Best Poems Ever

The Best Poems Ever

A Collection of Poetry's Greatest Voices
edited by Edrie S. Mesmer

This collection of poems ranges through the classics of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe to Buffalo Dusk by Carl Sandburg.  William Shakespeare is also included.  These poems of moods and dialects from the early 20th century. 

I actually used the Carl Sandburg poem with my class called "Buffalo Dusk"  just this week.  Some of these classic poems would be hard for some of the elementary students to interpret without guidance.  However, I enjoy having this book in my classroom to share of these timeless favorites.
