The nearest book to me was a dictionary and a thesaurus. I deigned that both weren't really suitable, so instead, I went for my English guide book which was probably closer anyway.
Many poems evoke a mood or create an image; some draw the reader's attention to the sound of words.
I don't think it's particularly better than the dictionary at all.
As a backup, I also chose a collection of Katherine Mansfield stories.

I'm not sure I really want to think about that too much.
