Books of Poetry

I don't read poetry often, and really find it quite difficult. Is it the lack of a real plot? I quite like (and regularly return to) Tennyson, but envy those who were taught poetry to memorise and can recall appropriate extracts to suit the time and the purpose. These three slim volume caught my eye and sit by my bedside. I pluck readings at random or a title will catch my mood. I'm certain I will derive several hours of entertainment from these books, and would recommend them to others who find poetry an unknown country, unfathomable and too deep. The letters between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett are a welcome diversion too. Rating 8/10
