The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry
I picked up these two books for an english class i'm taking as a grad student. I only needed the first volume, but the price of one volume at the local bookstore was more expensive than what amazon was offering for BOTH. Naturally, I decided to get both volumes and they're both great. They cover a wide range of poetry over the 20th century with both modern and post modern. As a grad student, I'll gladly be holding on to these books. Great purchase!
The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry
The title for this review says it all. The Norton Anthologies are the absolute quintessential books for any literature lover. They are worth every penny of the cost.
The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry
Useful for students interested in canonical poetry. In Vol. II the Asian, Native American, and Hispanic poets few and far between. (Noticed they were only in the back of the book, by the way). If looking for non-canonical poets, or racially diverse anthology, recommend looking elsewhere.
The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry
An good book for students who want to major in Poetry. There are very interesting essays about poetry at the end of the book too.

Ordered this as a school required text and it was perfect. Not only was it cheaper than my college bookstore, but it also came in a nice hardcover case to keep them both together. Order was timely and I had no problems with the overall product. A++ For poetic anthologies.

It was hard to know if I was going to receive volume 1 and 2 because neither were specified in the description, so i purchased the anthology and only received vol. 2 still a pretty good bargain, but I need volume 1 and i'm not sure how i would get it. otherwise it a was a very quick delivery!
