A Wonderful Tour

This is one of the most useful anthologies of contemporary American Poetry, especially because it contains thoughtful introductions to each poet. The selections are not always the typical ones, so you'll find yourself meeting both new poets and new poems by poets you are already acquainted with. What's more, it is the only anthology that regularly includes long poems by quite a few of its contributors. Indispensible.

The best, but overpriced

This is the best anthology of contemporary poetry now available. But the publisher insists on overcharging for it.
