Summary: A compelling poetical garland
Comment: A startlingly accomplished book for readers who care for poetry; more, it may induce a previously unsuspected love of poetry for those willing to browse its pages. I got lost in the world it creates. The extent of the editors' encyclopedic familiarity with the universal range of poetic accomplishment is not a small miracle; sensitivity to the quality of each individual translation is equally miraculous. World Poetry" is rarely equalled in breadth and beauty of execution and design, and goes far beyond what Mark van Doren may have wished to create when he edited his "World Treasury..." 70 years ago.

Summary: If you love poetry, buy this book.
Comment: The full breadth of poetry as it stretched humanity to new heights. English did not start the poetic world. Here the Greeks, Romans, Akkadians enter our life and share the same tears and laughter as the 12th Century Japanese or the 5th century Persians. Enjoy!
Rating: 5
Summary: an awesome accomplishment
Comment: This is an astonishing volume packed with beautiful poems. I honestly cannot think of a better gift for poetry lovers (or, indeed, plain lovers or anyone else...). Akkadian poetry, Nazim Hikmet, Tagore.... almost every single poet that I love is here. How did the editors manage do it???
