Adopting the methodology of the music charts, The Classic Fifty Poems presents the "top 50" poems of all time. Determined by a consensus of over 1,000 compliers, and arranged in order of popularity, each author's work is illuminated by the informative notes of editor William Harmon, who offers insights into the historical period in which each author lived and the author's choice of verse form, tone, and style.

Newly revised, and read by an ensemble of contemporary poets, The Classic Fifty Poems is a feast for poetry lovers.

The introductions are good, the poems classic. The readings vary, they capture meaning but not always rhythm and spring. Poems basically late 1500s to pre WW1. Sequence dances about interestingly. Choices reasonable.

Since this is included in membership, it seems churlish to make criticisms.
This offers an enjoyable collection of classic English and American poetry with interesting introductory notes to introduce each poet and poem. These really add to the enjoyment by putting the poetry into context of its creator and time.
Whether one loves the performances or not will be down to personal taste; in my opinion the good far outweigh any that I disliked.
One thing that would improve my experience would be indexing the poems to make it easy to return to favourites.

Interesting introductions and nice performances

This is a good introduction to a wide selection of poems across the centuries, although they seem to be mainly from English speaking countries.

Great selection of poems and brief background
