"One Hundred and One Poems" by Roy Cook is a remarkable anthology
of American poets. Some are no longer familiar, but their poetry
sheds light on an earlier America, one that inhabited a less
complicated world. One-third of the 'famous poems' belong to such
well-known American poets as William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Eugene Field, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Vachel Lindsay, Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Edwin Markham, Edgar
Allan Poe, James Whitcomb Riley, Edward Sill, and John Greenleaf
Whittier. More contemporary poets such as Robert Frost, Edna St.
Vincent Millay, Edgar Lee Masters, and Carl Sandburg are also
included, together with a number of noted English poets (Elizabeth
and Robert Browning, Burns, Byron, Gray, George Elliott, Leigh
Hunt, Keats, Kipling, Milton, Sir Walter Scott, Shakespeare,
Shelley, Tennyson, and Wordsworth). Many poems reflect the virtues
of honor, commitment, respect of God, patriotism, honesty,
perseverance, courage, respect for others, and loyalty. Others are
playful and simply fun to read. Lay this old, outdated collection
next to your favorite chair. Its great reading, and you won't be
disappointed.
