This is my favority anthology so far! I collect anthologies and literature text books. This contains many of favorites to come. Easy reading and comprehension. Perhaps this would make a good intro to poetry for teens and younger ones

I don't think I've read every poem, but I have read at least 70-80 percent of it. I know I've gone through every page and really like a lot of them. "Casey at the Bat" and its sequels are old favorites.
