Annie's Poetry Library . . . So Far

As I have recently acquired my 100th book of poetry I have decided to publish a list of my poetry library so far.
Not all of the books have been read (yet), but I am aiming to have most or all read by the end of the year. As several of the 'complete works' are nearly 1000 pages or more, we shall see.
You will find a diverse range of poetic works - books for young readers (or young at heart) through to epics, humourous to thought provoking.
Hope you enjoy the eclectic selection as I sit back in a coffee shop re-reading 'Old Possums Book of Practical Cats', which I last read about 40 years ago!
Happy Reading
