    <body><![CDATA[A really wonderful anthology of international poets. Some of them are pretty old, like 1,000 years or so - but there are also lots of contemporary poets, and often the two are showcased side by side. Milosz also gives a little preface or description before a new poet or poem. Since the poems vary wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41396612">more...</a>]]></body>
