This collection of poetry represents the most powerful poetry ever composed; with selections from well known poets such as Anne Hutchinson to the myriads of lesser known artists, a wide variety of poetry is presented here. Arranged in chronological sections from early Anglo-Saxon poetry to the early 20th century, poets are then arranged alphabetically with a brief introduction to their lives and works. With works taken from many streams in Christendom--Anglican, Catholic, Reformed and Orthodox--every style and form of poetry is represented, as is the themes of joy, despair, thanksgiving, exhortation and praise. 804 pages, index included.
