Poems Bewitched and Haunted selected and edited by John Hollander
Everyman's Library Pocket Books. 2005
This book is exactly what it sounds like, a collection of poems about witchcraft and spirits. The poems are divided into five categories and come in a variety of lengths and styles. Some are excerpts from longer works. Unfortunately, there is no context provided for where these poems were taken and no real additional information about the poems, or poets is provided. There are some real gems here, and some that barely seem to fit the criteria. You won't face any sleepless nights dipping into this collection, but it's perfect for some bedtime reading by candle light on a rainy Fall, or Winter's night.

I just ordered this book and the daughter of witching hill from my local library. Thanks for the great recommendations.
My pleasure.
