Foreign languages do sound so beautiful and for those who can understand them, you can say things in another language that don't translate perfectly to English so the true beauty of certain words is really only found in another language. I wish I could read French or Italian. I think European languages are so lovely, and for those who could read the non-English poems and enjoy poetry, this sounds like a gem. I'm not a poetry fan in the least, but you almost convinced me with this lovely review. Great job.

Yeah, I understand. If history and poetry isn't your favorite combo, then I understand why you might not like this book.

Even though poetry is not one of my strong points, your review has piqued my interest. Thanks for pointing out that there is a brief Foreword that explains the poet’s thought process behind a collection. Maybe I will try this book out. Great review!

I get what you are saying. Nothing is more musical than the language of love.

Yeah, this one transports you to a land of dreams. So, if you are ready to drift off for a while, this could work out well then.

Just that concept makes it sound so intriguing. It's so impressive that the author knows so many languages. Perhaps some would find those foreign language poems fascinating.
You're absolutely right. I admire the author's knowledge of multiple languages too. It makes him a true scholar!

You've got that right. It does elevate you to a good mood, when that's what you're looking for.
