1. Top 3 Poets By Talia Lamb

2. 1. Elizabeth Hun Schmidt She wrote The Poets Laureate Anthology. This is a must for any poetry lover—a stunning collection of selected works from the 43 Poets Laureate in one volume. A record of American poetry from the last 75 years, this book includes introductions of each poet, which place them in both a literary and historical context, along with fascinating information about the poets and their often-complicated relationship with politics. There is so much to appreciate in this handsome, thoughtful volume.” —Leslie Reiner, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL

3. 2. Caroline Kennedy She wrote She Walks in Beauty: A Woman’s Journey Through Poems. “Caroline Kennedy has selected poems for each stage of a woman’s life, including love, work, motherhood, and times of silence and solitude. The poems come from a great variety of authors. Each section is introduced by a short essay by Kennedy. Often, these sections include comments about her family—which includes people who are very familiar to us. A lovely collection!” —Sally Wizik Wills, Sister Wolf Books, Dorset, MN

4. 3. Mary Oliver She wrote Swan: Poems and Prose Poems. “I never pass up an opportunity to recommend the poetry of Mary Oliver. She is not a poet of despair or anger, cynicism or sarcasm. She is a poet of joy! Her poems capture the pure wonder of a child in nature, tempered by the adult knowledge of the transitory. They are small, precise jewels for the soul.” —Bill Burkhardt, Left Bank Books, St. Louis, MO
