larryhammerNotes for Reading Wednesday, which in an alternate timeline I had the time to swot up into an actual post:
Finished:
The Hundred Best English Poems ed. Adam Gowans (1904), which has some surprising choices and omissions but a lot of the Good Stuff to date. Not sure how well I'd do the job myself -- I mean, one poem from each of a hundred poets, sure, but the hundred best poems? Hmm.
Ongoing:
The Library of the World's Best Literature ed. by Warner et al., which I've been grazing in three directions: am through the people/topics beginning with A, ditto poems with titles beginning with D, and halfway through the Scandinavian authors.
Other poetry grazing from collections of Edward Thomas, William Henley, and William Yeats in various permutations, and Classical Chinese Poetry, edited and translated by David Hinton, which I have mixed feelings about. Nice sonics, strong imagery, doesn't respect the end-stops of the original or attempt anything that corresponds to the original rhymes -- so more faithful to sense than form.

Date: 1 December 2016 05:53 am (UTC)I can't fathom making "bests"--hard enough to name a favorite book for the people who don't read much and ask for just one. My hat's off to those bold enough to publish such gathering-attempts (though I rarely agree with them, natch).
