It includes blues lyrics, American folk poetry, Elizabethan lyrics, Broadway songs, and a full range of poetic styles from the aristocratic to the popular. Eminently readable and engaging, "The New Faber Book of Love Poetry" presents some of the most emotive and memorable lyric poems produced in the English language from the Renaissance to the present day.
