Again, as a disclaimer I have not read this particular edition of John Donne's poetry. I have however read many of the poems found in this edition and therefore find it a particularly reasonable version to use to talk about the poems I read as stand alone works.John Donne was a fascinating character...
I found several poems in this book clever, but in general I thought these poems were dispassionate and often sexist. Yes, yes, dude is really old, but even if I were to excuse the sexism based on "the times" (and I won't, but if I did...), I still wouldn't enjoy reading about it.
