"Poems You Ought to Know" by Elia Wilkinson Peattie is a carefully chosen group of poems from the early 1900s, intending to spark a new or renewed interest in poetry. Peattie gathered poems from well-known poets, offering a rich collection that aims to inspire and uplift readers through the beauty of verse. The anthology starts with an introduction that highlights how important it is to take time each day to feed your "inner life" with poetry, quoting Professor Charles Eliot Norton on its healing abilities. The book's goal is clear: to encourage both experienced poetry fans and newcomers to experience the universal themes of life, love, and loss showcased in these classic verses by poets like Wordsworth, Shakespeare, and Byron.
