description: This anthology, devised for undergraduate poetry courses, is drawn from the grand sweep of modern verse in English from Walt Whitman to the present. The editors have selected poems that "teach" important techniques of qualities of poetry, that are particularly enjoyable or accessible, or that are so excellent that they demand inclusion in any overview of modern poetry. The result is uncommonly varied and inviting.
