The best poems of the English Language – Harold Bloom

A colossus among critics – New York Times Magazine.
Our most valuable critic (Boston Globe) presents his personal selection, with commentary, of the finest poems in the English language.

Aesthetic, moral, and intellectual judgements are superbly blended to produce a volume uncommonly valuable to all who appreciate poetry…This superb anthology will ensure Bloom’s role in the process for a long time and will, I hope, inspire others to walk in his formidable footsteps – Martin Rubin, San Francisco Chronicle.

To read Bloom’s insights here is to bask in the emanation of genius. As entertaining and erudite as his choices of the works he most loves are, the book’s overriding strength is the guidance it gives, in context and comprehension – Baltimore Sun.

From Chaucer Through Robert Frost, this great anthology reflects on the works of one hundred and four poets. It is a profoundly deep experience to browse through this big volume and read, and reflect, and read some more. This is a buy that will last decades and is set up for history.

All literature and poetry lovers from around the world.
