Oxford Book of American Verse

Rating:
Summary: Good Collection of American Poetry
Review: Goes up to the middle of the 20th C. (Has Sandburg and Stevens but not Ginsburg and Giovanni).

A nice volume that I refer to often, packs a thousand pages and fits in my hand. Nicely portable for so much text. Organized in chronological order of poets' dates of birth.
