"The fourth and final volume in the popular series that began with Ten Poems to Change Your Life offers ten poems with layer upon layer of meaning that contemplate what it means to be truly human. Housden's selections include poems by Billy Collins, Hayden Carruth, James Wright, Mary Oliver, D.H. Lawrence, Rainer Maria Rilke, Seng-Ts'an from 6th century China, and more-plus one ""bonus classic"" that has already lasted lifetimes, John Keats's ""Ode to Autumn."""
