The collection is divided into regions and I found that the poems for each region had a particular flavor and thematic elements running through them. It was fun to read poems about places I have lived or have visited such as Chicago or Iowa.

The Poetry of Us
The Poetry of Us is another great book published by National Geographic. I found it in the children's section at the library. I think it would be ideal for ages 6 and up, but I enjoyed reading it. The Poetry of Us is a collection of 200+ poems that celebrate the history, regions, passions, and people of the United States. Some of the poems are well known such as America the Beautiful or by famous authors such as Maya Angelou, Walt Whitman, and Langston Hughes. Other authors are probably famous in their own right.
