Description: "Soon after it was founded by Harriet Monroe in 1912, Poetry magazine became famous for printing the first poems of T. S. Eliot ("The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock"), Carl Sandburg ("Chicago Poems"), and Wallace Stevens ("Sunday Morning"), and revolutionary work by Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, and many other then unknown but now classic authors." "Over nine decades, never missing a monthly issue, Poetry has presented virtually every significant poet of the twentieth century - often for the first time - and has become a legend in its own right." "Decade by decade, this ninetieth-anniversary anthology from Poetry includes the poems of the major talents - along with several lesser known - in all their variety: William Butler Yeats, Edgar Lee Masters, Sara Teasdale, D. H. Lawrence, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Vachel Lindsay, Robert Graves, May Sarton, Langston Hughes, W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Hart Crane, Robert Penn Warren, Dylan Thomas, E. E.
