I have not read this entire collection. What follows are reviews for the poems from this collection that I have read:

  • “Miniver Cheevy”: A short poem about a man who wastes his life wishing to have been born in a different time. Rating: 2.5/5
  • “Richard Cory” (not in HC): A short poem with a shocking ending that comments on class division and the pervasiveness of unhappiness. It seems rather simplistic in its exploration of the issues it addresses. Rating: 2.5/5
