For Poetry Lovers

If you love poetry, keep an eye out for used college literature text books. They often have entire sections devoted to poetry throughout the ages. You can read a wide variety of authors, and the work is often accompanied by textbook explanations of the material. Often, there is an introduction to the author’s work which explains the context within which the poetry was written.

Another benefit to using old textbooks for poetry reading is you can annotate guilt free. You aren’t marking up a brand new (and often pricey) collection of poetry.
