Great resource of poetry

Needed this book for a class, don't think I will be selling it anytime soon. Love the poems and short stories, plus the chapter introductions help understand what you will be reading. Great book.

Wonderful!

This book has so much information and great literature, you're sure to be an expert by the end! I needed this for my english composition and literature class and was able to easily understand and comprehend everything! Di Yanni is a great author - very clear!

Excellent!!

It's a very good book. It has totally enlightened me on the various types of literature that exists. I had to purchase this book for my English Composition III Course at College but it was well worth the purchase.

Explanation of Literature at it's Finest

DiYanni gives excellent explanation and great examples of poems, plays, and short stories in his book. I actually bought this book for a Lit. class and I knew I would hate the class and the book when I saw how 'big' the boook was. Turns out I loved them both; and DiYanni in my opinion is an excellent author. This book is a great read for pleasure as well as study.

Informative

This book not only contains a lot of excellent literature, but it also gives instruction on how to read and analyze literature more effectively. This is a book I come back to again and again.
