About this audiobook
Imagine if Billboard compiled a list of the top 100 poems, chosen not by critics or professors but by the people themselves. That's the concept behind The Classic Fifty Poems, and it works brilliantly.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book appears to be a “condensed” version of the book “One Hundred Classic Poems.” Much of the abbreviation comes from eliminating any pauses between one poem and the next. Not enjoyable at all to listen to, in my opinion. I don’t know why any poetry lover would choose this mess when the original book, with its relaxed pacing, is available.
