What poems do you read when a country has gone to war?To mark the beginning of a new career or the end of an old one?To celebrate a new love or console a grieving and bereft family?Organized in three parts-the Cycles of Nature, the Phases of Human Life, and the Enduring Themes-the book is the perfect vehicle to translate the wisdom and expression of the greatest works of poetry into our everyday experience.Among the many poets included here are Anna Akhmatova, Charles Baudelaire, Elizabeth Bishop, William Blake, Catullus, Emily Dickinson, Goethe, Federico Garca Lorca, Herman Melville, Ogden Nash, Li Po, Rilke, Sappho, Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas, and Edith Wharton.Including over 500 poems written in more than a dozen different languages, poems dating from ancient Egypt to the present day, BARTLETT'S POEMS FOR OCCASIONS is a resource that will sustain and uplift the soul.
