The Penguin Book of Modern African Poetry
AuthorGerald Moore

The Palm at the End of the Mind: Selected Poems and a Play
AuthorWallace Stevens
ISBN0679724451
As a phrase and idea, "the palm at the end of the mind" serves well in illustrating the distinctive elegance of Wallace Stevens' poetry.

The Mentor Book of Major American Poets
AuthorOscar Williams
ISBN0451627911
Many of the poets are great, and all have at least one or two great poems as well as at least a couple more worth reading, but much of this anthology was a slog for me.

I love Dickinson, and Whitman, and Pound, Stevens, Cummings, and Auden. I got my first taste of a selection of several of the poets,...

The Selected Poetry
AuthorRobinson Jeffers
ISBN0804741085
In 1938 Random House published The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers, a volume that would remain in print for more than fifty years.

The book was split into five sections: Prologue, Poems About War, Poems Not About War , Gods, Men and Others, and Epilogue. I enjoyed these simple poems that dealt with various topics,...
