The Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry in Anthologies

For over a hundred years, The Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry in Anthologies has been the preeminent index for answers to questions about the world of poetry, identifying the author of a poem or the anthologies in which it can be found when only a title, first line, or last line is known. This latest edition-a "must have" for libraries-brings its index up to date as of May 31, 2006.

This latest version features 85,000 classic and contemporary poems by 12,000 poets. Also included are works in translation and for the first time poetry in Spanish, Vietnamese, and French. The subject organization of the poems is especially useful. Hundreds of new subjects have been added, indexing poems on highly relevant topics such as Osama bin Laden, the war in Iraq, Dick Cheney, the Internet, and Rosa Parks, as well as timeless subjects like the Bill of Rights, unspoken love, faith, and inspiration.

Our impressive team of consultants includes J. D. McClatchy, Harvey Shapiro, and former poet laureate Mark Strand. From The Norton Anthology of Poetry (2005 edition) to Poetry after 9/11 and Garrison Keillor's Good Poems, this new edition puts readers in touch with the best of the latest anthologies and the lasting favorites.

An inspiring collection-- diverse

I know how hard most of the translators and writers worked to put this book together. And anything, Scott Swaner has either reviewed or written-- always catches my interest. He has a beautiful mind.

All the poems you could ever need, all at once!

O man. It blows my head. All the greatest poetry in English, together, on a CD...all that Blake, man. i have been experimenting with connecting the data output straight into my brain, via a portable CD turntable secreted under my mitre. That Tessa Kale must be really something.
