News at Eleven: In his introduction [Michael] Rosen says,

"This is a book of classic poetry--poems that have lasted for many years, sometimes several hundreds of years. In that time, they've remained popular; they've gone on mattering to people; many people have thought these poems say important things in an exciting and memorable way."

Classic Poetry presents the works of familiar names such as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Emily Bronte, Lewis Carroll, and Walt Whitman.
