William Blake Poetry Edited by John Maynard
Genre poetry Anthology
This book is not just for young people. It has a collection of old English poems with some odd words. The main reason I chose this book is because it had 2 of my names on it in big writing. The poems in here not only have the poem but an explanation of what it is based around and a list of the meanings of the words. Many of the poems are from another one of his books songs of innocence. The illustrator made some interesting pictures using pastel. There is also a biography about William Blake in the front of the book.
I recommend this book to everyone. I rate it a 6/10
When your group reads Skellig you might recognise some of the poems.
