52 Book Challenge - Week 40

How do I love books of poetry? Let me count the ways. I love them, er.. ah.. that is to say... quite a bit, I guess. Can anyone remember how the rest of that poem goes?

What is it about poetry that a few lines can capture the attention of the entire world (or at least, the insert-relevant-language speaking world)?

This week's challenge is:

40. A book of poetry

Now, you may be thinking "didn't we just have a poetry one?" and, yes, the epic poetry challenge was only a few weeks ago - but this is different. You can chose any kind of book of poetry you like.

You can read an anthology of poets from a particular place, or time. You can read a collection of poems from the same poet. You can read a book of poetry that was originally written and published to be a single cohesive work (it's like the poetry equivalent of a classic album, before they put together the "best of" compilations). You can read a novel-in-verse...

Heck, you can read a book of poems based around a theme, like animals or travel, if you like. It's amazing what you can find once you catch the poetry bug.
