Collected Poems Of A. E. Housman | Poetry Library

Five stars for the edition; four or perhaps four+ for Houseman's poetry. This is an excellent collection and good value for dollar. It includes the major pieces in a readable, well bound, inexpensive format. Houseman's output is such that it can be read and enjoyed in a brief period of time, so pour a drink, find the comfy chair and enjoy. Crime writers take note: Houseman's verse may not be uniformly superb, but it contains a number of brilliant passages which have served very nicely as epigraphs for crime novels.
