poetry

Poetry is writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm.

ALS International and its affiliates has for many years supported and devoted resources to poetry as it represents one of the most difficult forms of translation as well as one of the most interesting uses of language.

Below is a short list of poems in the English language that we hope you will find both historically interesting and pleasing to read. In the future, we would like to expand this page to include other foreign language poems as well. Enjoy!

Choose a poem by author, title or first line from or simply scroll down to locate a specific poem.
