I was book shopping spontaneously on Sunday. Stood before the poetry section and looked for something that was from 20th or 21st Century. An Alfred Lord Tennyson collection caught my eye through a beautiful cover. But I learned from the back of the book that Tennyson was a 19th Century poet. Didn't choose that book. BUT I'm looking forward to listen to his poetry!
