Recommended Poetry Books
Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry (1988)
"Good, but doesn't have anything before about 1850, so no Shakespeare, Donne
et. al. Which you may want." - TL
Norton Anthology of Poetry (1996)
"Edited by three people, one of whom is Mary Jo Salter (a poet herself)
Very good, although it doesn't have biographical information." - TL
British and American Poets (1986)
"Edited by Bate and Perkins (don't know first names) My favorite, though
not as inclusive as either of the above. Not a Norton book." - TL
