I clicked a link today to the
Poetry Bestsellers
on Amazon.com and was surprised by the results (which change every hour).
Surprise #1: A lot of
Kindle
versions of classics including books like the King James Bible and The Iliad.
The
Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies
was there, along with the Fagles translation of
The Odyssey
and the movie tie-in
Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne
.
Surprise #2: I had to go to #33 to find a book of real contemporary poetry -
Evidence by Mary Oliver
.
I took a look...wow.
