I bought this book to introduce my students to American poetry from different time periods, and in that respect the book did what I needed it to do. Even so, I would have liked to see more contemporary poetry and a wider variety of styles. I know that any compilation like this is going to focus on traditional canon poetry, but I would have like to see a little more variation. Even so, it has a lot of great stuff in it and I recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive reference or collection.
I love this little book of poetry! The icing on the cake is reading someone like Langston Hughes in the same volume as Walt Whitman and Emily Dickenson. In college, I had to have two books: One for the African-American Poets and another for the American Poets??? Plus, this volume is the perfect size for a bookworm like me who carries around 2 or 3 books at any one time–of course a Kindle would solve that problem! Will my wife ever get the hints???
I sent this book o my son and he love it reading it every day
