Revised, Mid-Century Book Club Edition "This is that basic, all-embracing anthology that every book-lover wants in his [or her] library. It contains one and one-half times as many lines of verse as the best similar anthology now available. The choices include both the acknowledged masterworks and many less familiar but richly rewarding poems. Humor and Satire as well as lyric, narrative, and dramatic verse are represented, and the range of verse forms and meters is unlimited. American poetry (as distinct from British) is more fully covered than in any other general anthology. Contemporaries down to the mid-twentieth century are given a proportionate place with the poets of the past" [from the dust jacket]. Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked. Dust Jacket is in Good Condition: chipped at both ends of the spine; light wear along the top edge of both sections.
