5.0 out of 5 stars I have loved this book to death. Literaly., 23 Nov 2002
This review is from: Collected Poems (Paperback)
I was introduced to the original Collected Poems by my college room-mate circa 1960, and have loved the poems ever since. Several of them I learned by heart, and can generaly quote to this day. So much so that my son (now living on a different continent from me) must have heard the original so often, he brought to my attention the misquoting of 'Slough' in a recent International Herald Tribune article. My original paperback copy is now falling apart, and how can I resist getting a new one?

5.0 out of 5 stars America needs a Betjeman, 11 Jan 2002
By Stephen C. "sbconstant" (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collected Poems (Paperback)
A preservationist in (usually) the best sense--in architecture, poetry forms, landscapes, humour, the heart--Sir John Betjeman inspired a large following in the UK and maybe 2-3 in the USA. More 'verse' than 'poetry' as he characteristically self-effacingly called the contents of this volume, his work still holds a lot of charm and power. 'Middlesex' perhaps encapsualtes him best...
