Poetry can be studied by the whole family together. We recommend reading poems of your preference from an anthology, or collection (like Favorite Poems Old and New), every week, as well as studying one poet sometime during the year. The twelve poets listed below are the poets we recommend. Click on any poet’s name to see corresponding resources in our CM Bookfinder. Keep in mind that you’ll probably also find several of the poet’s works in an anthology as well.
