Contemporary American Poetry
AuthorA. Poulin Jr.
ISBN0395745322
I own many books of poetry and a few poetry anthologies. It is rare that an anthology includes all of the poets whose work I admire, but this is one of those.

The Mentor Book of Major American Poets
AuthorOscar Williams
ISBN0451627911

Butterfly Eyes and Other Secrets of the Meadow
AuthorJoyce Sidman
I didn't like the poems in this book, but I did like the parts with the information. Maybe it is because the poems feel quite dated (I didn't believe that this book w2as written in 2006). Probably it's just me, and still I really liked this book.

New Enlarged Pocket Anthology of Robert Frost's Poems
AuthorRobert Frost
As I read more poetry, I'm starting to appreciate how little I appreciate it -- or at least the narrative form. I don't understand the point of narrative poetry. Why not just write a story? The point of these "verses" would make more sense in paragraphs.
As far as I can tell (granted, I only lasted 61...
