Customer Review: The Odyssey is one of my favorite classics and it is one of my favorite units to teach. Odysseus' journey is aided and hindered by the gods and goddesses, and it is interesting to see how they work for and against him in order for him to return home. I cannot imagine being away from home for twenty... more info
Customer Review: Collins poetry is always deep, sophisticated and insightful.
I particularly love "The Four-Moon Planet," "Vermont, Early November," and "The Future." Collins reflects in this manner on his solitude:
