I feel a bit guilty giving this only three stars, because it contains the truly astonishing poem "The Second Coming", which has justly earned the accolades it's received since publication. The rest of the collection, however, did very little for me. I can see that some of the poems are put together well, and the overtly political ones are a bit more interesting than the rest, but other than "The Second Coming" there's not one that I'd be likely to bother reading again, to be honest.
