-- Table of Poems from Poem Finder®
From Library Journal:
Were an anthology to be compiled by the Robin Williams character in Dead Poets Society (who is indeed alluded to in the editor's introduction to one of the poems), this would be it. This book will prove a boon to those who insist that there hasn't been any real poetry since Tennyson, but it could also be an invaluable resource to scholars and librarians who see it for what it is: not so much a must-have anthology as a significant statistical record, since it contains the 100 most frequently anthologized poems in English, according to the Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry . That is to say, all but a few of these poems are by long-dead British males (Emily Dickinson is the only woman here); the result is a rich gathering, but not the comprehensive one suggested by the book's title.
