Truthfully, I'm not super impressed with Byron's poetry. He has several really good ones here and there, and the rest of it is just... eh. I mean, for my personal taste, it's just not what I am looking for in poetry. I can recognize his genius in a general way, but most of the poetry in this collection was not my cup of tea.

Still, there were several poems that I really loved! Byron definitely has a way with words, and there is a powerful emotional pull to almost everything he writes.
