This is a scrumptious taste and introduction to the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Many of the thoughts and poems seem downright modern to me. I love much of his imagery; the issues and emotions evoked are very moving and worth pondering. I will definitely seek out more of his work to read.

Affordable reading from Dover. Thoroughly recommended, especially for those who have never read Coleridge and don't want to spend large amounts of money on something they may not like.
Once again, well done Dover Publications.

A classic collection. What better way to wind down a rainy afternoon than by escaping into the rich fantasy world of an opium addict?
Coleridge really knew how to interest his readers interruptions from Porlock or no.

Most of Coleridge's poems in this (very cheap) collection do little to me. Christabel and Kubla Khan in particular are florid but insipid. The narrative in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner (which is its call to fame) is somewhat engaging, but falls flat as many times as it rises.
