Hunter Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Sparknotes has out a book called Poetry Classics. I can't seem to find it anywhere else for sale other than at Barnes and Nobles. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Poetry-Classics/SparkNotes-Editors/e/9781411404328 It's only $9.99 includes the poems and has extensive commentary for each one. This would be an excellent book to use with some type of generic poetry worksheet. Edited December 15, 2010 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 This looks quite good, thank you for posting it. I just reserved a copy at my local B&N. For anyone else who might be interested, it's 432 pp and covers the following poets (with 4-5 poems by each): Shakespeare Donne Pope Blake Wordsworth Coleridge Shelley Keats Tennyson Browing Whitman Dickinson Hopkins Yeats Frost Elliot With a B&N teacher's discount, it would be $8.

Melenie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Thanks for posting this. I have just ordered one for under $4.00 pp from Barnes and Noble using the below link. You have to be a Visa card holder though. http://btob.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp?btob=Y&btob= Edited December 16, 2010 by Melenie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks for posting that! I was just about to go pick up my copy at B&N, but I ordered it instead for half the price! The original link didn't work for me (said the special "portal" was no longer necessary?), but this one should work. $4, shipped, is a heck of a deal!

Hunter Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Maybe one of you literature experts can create a generic worksheet that can be used with the poems in this book? The Short Story book is also good, but I wasn't impressed with any of the other titles. The film classics book was well done, but many of the titles wouldn't be of interest to most families here.
