Mondegreens: Almost remembered poemsPaperback, 10 November 2021

A mondegreen is 'a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song' (definition from Oxford Languages). If you read old books, you have probably come across pieces of poetry that feel like mondegreens-they seem familiar and as if you should know them but somehow you can't quite remember them. Mondegreen: Almost remembered poems is a small collection of such poems. All the poems are in the public domain and appeared on the blog, From Troubles of the World, between October 2011 and January 2012. To make searching for that elusive phrase easier, the collection includes indices of first lines, titles and poets.
