I've been reading a lot lately about the First World War, so was moved to glance through Housman's minor masterpiece once again. My version is this flimsy International Pocket Library edition, bought new for only fifty cents more than fifty years ago. It's well-traveled, and looks it. Probably its most famous poem is "To an Athlete Dying Young."
Barely fifty pages, but there's much food for thought here. Very highly recommended.
