A Great Collection

The other reviewer of this particular anthology mentions some poetic giants that have been left out of the anthology, and I agree some of those poets should have been put in this anthology, but that being said, you can't have EVERY major poet put in an anthology, it would just become too large and too cumbersome to publish. The editors of this collection give reasons in their introduction for why they've left out certain authors. All that being said. This is a fantastic collection, and for someone who is just learning to appreciate Modern (Capital M) poets, this is a great place to start. Book is organized into specific poetic genre and styles and each work is prefaced with a small biogrpahy of the authors life and their work. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for getting into this particular genre of poetry. Cheers.
