Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This comprehensive chronological anthology includes 58 essays on poetry by 53 poets. Starting with James Weldon Johnson and Robert Frost, the book offers diverse and often conflicting accounts of the nature and function of poetry. The collection includes rarely anthologized essays by Jack Spicer, Rhina Espaillat, Anne Stevenson, and Ron Silliman, as well as work by some of the finest younger critics in America, including William Logan, Alice Fulton, and Christian Wiman. .

Rated by buyers -
I bought this book for my Creative Writing: Poetry class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to know the basics of twentieth century poetics. It covers the most famous writers, such as Robert Frost, by summarizing their lives and providing examples of what forms of poetry they used and what makes up any particular form. Don't buy this book if you want to read poetry, but do if you want to understand it, for that is its goal, and it provides explanations of numerous types of poetry and verse.
