20th-Century Poetry and Poetics (5th ed)

20th-Century Poetry and Poetics provides in-depth selections from the work of each poet and, where possible, places the poems in the significant context of the poets' own views on poetics.

In addition there are useful biographies and comments on the poets in the form of headnotes that appear at the beginning of each poet's work.

The final section includes an extensive poetics section, where 30 poets talk, in various forms, about writing and reading poetry.
