Very Affordable Sample of Donne's Best Poetry, Sep 10 2010
By Fr. Charles Erlandson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Selected Poems (Paperback)
John Donne wrote some of the most beautiful and amazing poetry in the English language! I highly recommend his poetry to students of poetry and English literature. The language is old, but that's also some of its beauty and charm. Some of his images are striking and truly make you think and feel.
While this Dover Thrift Edition of Donne's "Selected Poems" has a limited selection of Donne's poetry, it contains some of his best poetry. Any collection, even a limited one, should include his "Holy Sonnets," and I'm glad to say that these are found here, including the attention-grabbing "Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God."
If you're looking for an introduction to Donne's poetry, this is a great place to start. What I like best about the Dover Thrift Editions in general, this price included, is that they are the most affordable new books out there! If you learn to love Donne's poetry, as I have, there are plenty of editions of his complete poems available as well.
