This was not what I expected. This felt like more of a nonfiction than a poetry book. I didn’t like the layout.

Name: 100 Poems to Break Your Heart
Author: Edward Hirsch
Genre: Poetry, Love, Loss, Death, Longing
Rating: 4/5
Review:
This book is an anthology of heart touching poems of pain and loss by some of the most popular poets like Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Thomas Hardy, John Berrymen, Anne Sexton and many more. The author has done a critical analysis of each poetry and gives us an insight of the poet's mindset while writing the poem. This is a wonderful collection of poetry, which I loved to read. Each poetry is an amazing peice of work which leave us lost in thoughts.

Haven't ever really gotten into poetry, was hoping to use this as a jumping-off point. I really appreciated how the author broke down the poems to make them easier to understand. It's not a book for me, but I can see how others would enjoy it.
