Seller's Description:
New. Convinced that poetry is one of the first and best ways to convey a sense of the true and the beautiful to children, Berquist provides here a collection of all the poems she recommends in her best-selling ''Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum, '' supplemented by new selections for high school level children. Moving from reading aloud and memorization in the primary years, to analysis in the middle years, and finally to discussion of figures of speech, metaphor, and rhetorical application among older students, the book includes discussion questions and useful indexes and glossaries. ''Poetry appreciation'' is much too anemic a description of the purpose of this book; it is rather a tool to allow the power of poetry to overflow narrow bounds and nourish speaking, writing, and thinking.

This is one of my favorite poetry collections. It contains poems that will delight younger readers like "The Puffin", "The Duel", "The Owl and the Pussycat", and many more. It also contains some of Shakespeare's sonnets, "Lochinvar", "Horatius at the Bridge", several ballads, and much, much more.
