Title: The mentor book of major American poets
Description: This book has example works from 20 major American poets, starting with Edward Taylor, 1645-1729, through W. H. Auden, 1907-1973.  The book was published in 1962 so later poets are not included.  It is an excellent source to access a variety of American poets without having to purchase numerous books.  The focus is mainstream poets who have stood the test of time.   I found it a wonderful textbook while in high school in the early 1970's, and read well beyond the required Frost and Poe sections.
