Herman M. Ward has created a new kind of

anthology, designed above all to develop genuine

love for poetry rather than to force the reader to

read what others believe he ought to like. The edi-

tor spent many hours with high school students to

determine what kind of poetry they really enjoy.

Each of the poems in this anthology was actually

voted on by them. Poems for Pleasure is a book for

young adults which accurately reflects their taste

in poetry.

The range of this collection is wide: i29 poems

by 72 English and American poets are included.

Among the poems are "The Raven" by Poe, "When

I Was One-and-Twenty" by Housman, "0 Captain!

My Captain !" by Whitman, "Renascence" by Mil-

lay, "Chicago" by Sandburg, "The Ballad of East

and West" by Kipling, and poems by Shakespeare,

Keats, Frost, Shelley, Byron, Nash, Cummings, and

many others,
