100 of the most moving and inspiring poems of the last 200 years from around the world, a collection that will comfort and enthrall anyone trapped by grief or loneliness, selected by the award-winning, best-selling, and beloved author of How to Read a PoemImplicit in poetry is the idea that we are enriched by heartbreaks, by the recognition and understanding of suffering—not just our own suffering but also the pain of others. We are not so much diminished as enlarged by grief, by our refusal to vanish, or to let others vanish, without leaving a record. And poets are people who are determined to leave a trace in words, to transform oceanic depths of feeling into art that speaks to others.In 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, poet and advocate Edward Hirsch selects 100 poems, from the nineteenth century to the present, and illuminates them, unpacking context and references to help the reader fully experience the range of emotion and wisdom within these poems. For anyone trying to process grief, loneliness, or fear, this collection of poetry will be your guide in trying times.

The selection of poems cannot be faulted. I, a long-time resident of Camden, Maine, was pleased to see Edna St. Vincent Millay represented by one of her most beautiful - and saddest - sonnets: "What lips my lips have kissed..."Although I have not studied all 100 poems - and Hirsch's exegesis surely invites study - to my mind - let me emphasize to my mind - the exegeses spend too much effort and time on the mechanics, the metrics, the rhyme scheme, and so forth. In Hirsch's defense, he does indeed give background, historical context- and often his opinion of the sentiments expressed in the poems. But I tend to be of the Archibald MacLeish school that holds that "a poem should not mean, but be..."And that is why I include the qualifier "almost" in my review. I am quick to state, however, that other readers may challenge my views - and if they do, why - this is the book for them! 100 Poems To Break Your Heart eBook Kindle Download website Brilliant analyses of structure and sound and meaning.
