- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love the "old-fashioned" poetry, like Longfellow, Byron, Poe even, but modern poetry isn't for me.
Besides, a well-chosen collection - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice collection of travel/adventure-related poetry! Although Whitman comes up as the author of this book, there are numerous poets included in this book. Enjoyed it.
