One of the premier single-volume anthologies available.

Library Journal

This modest Chicago monthly has featured not only many of the 20th century's greatest poets, but also many of their famous poems. It is pleasant to think, given everything that Poetry has meant to literature in the last 100 years and everything it may yet mean to generations of readers that it will not have such troubles in the future.

David Yezzi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

It is a fitting collection that not only features their work, but helped place them in the pantheon.

Richard Wakefield, The Seattle Times

This anthology makes clear that American poetry is as powerful, diverse, and vibrant as ever.

The San Diego Union-Tribune

For the LOVER of poetry there is much to savor here...

Ron Smith, Times-Dispatch

A Who's Who of American verse...a landmark collection.... Highly recommended.
