AddictingBy Kenneth M. qKXyAMXw8 GoodmanPerhaps the ultimate "anti-snobbery" poetry. I say "addicting" 0HqNNl4B0 because, if you read a bit of these 800 pages every day, you may find yourself oNOJiw1Kx saying, "one more... one more...just one more" before you can bring yourself to xcCWlGYZY wedge in a bookmark to savor more poems tomorrow. Sometimes laugh-out- FiLRj6gDf loud funny, often poignant, these masterful rhythm/rhymes convey the ironies 5MwcleFLT realities of life, love, lust, political favoritism, courage, spirituality, etc. in a g4R25ZqBB raw, direct manner. If you need an "inner voice accent" to enhance enjoyment mm0EeVOgg of these poems (though I don't think it's necessary) think Michael Caine's voice 0EB0jw18f in that wonderful film "The Man Who Would Be King." No doubt about it, qbbFc0zKn Kipling was cool.50 of 51 people found the following review helpful. A l7rccy0lx comprehensive collectionBy Fred Camfield... Collections of Kipling's poems s2CE43FLB have been published many times over the years, but many of them were not X7GDDFG8j complete. This collection includes many not found elsewhere. Many of his XQVnqmLPF poems are about the British Army or the British Empire, but there are also poems on other topics. Some of Kipling's poems are better known than others, e.g., "Gunga Din." A few have been set to music, e.g., "" and "Gentlemen-Rankers." In some cases, particular lines are well known such as, "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet (from "The Ballad of East and West") or "the Colonel's Lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under their skins" (from "The Ladies). Some of the poems were concerned with the poor treatment of British soldiers for whom Kipling was a champion, including "Shillin' a Day," "Back to the Army Again," "The Last of the Light Brigade," and "" ("I went into a public 'ouse to get a pint of beer, the publican 'e up an' sez, 'we serve no redcoats here' ").Overall, it is a good, wide- ranging collection of poetry covering an extended time period. The collection is recommended for all age groups, although some poems might have to be explained to children. The poems were written at a different time in history, and readers should be aware that some of them may express prejudices and language of that period ("for she knifed me one night, 'cause I wished she was white, and I learned about women from 'er," from "The Ladies")0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
