The Top 10 Poets - The 19th Century - American

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives.

But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy.

In the Century that this volume covers we explore the American poets. Their poems are recognised as works of beauty and of truth as they bear witness to a tumultuous period in human history as the United States is tested by Civil War, a vast western expansion and the responsibilities of joining the small group of Nations that shape the globe.
