"Selections are wonderful and essays are great. My only complaint is the lackluster Dickinson and Wallace Stevens selections. Oh well. Great otherwise."
"An exceptional little anthology of modern poetry for anyone, including beginners, with straightforward & insightful introductory essays, a very slim selection, and instructions for writing poems "in the style of," which (even if you don't do it) is illuminating. Includes Bishop and O'Hara as well as Stevens and Eliot, IIRC."
