If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry is a way of organizing language. It is language made special so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always workover the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. But this Little History is about some that have not. John Carey tells the stories behind the worlds greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, and Yeats.

For readers both young and old, this little history shines a light for readers on the richness of the worlds poemsand the elusive quality that makes them all the more enticing.
