Some gems and classics here but nowhere near the 'Greatest' poetry ever. Find a better anthology.

Poetry that seaks

I like the book because it introduces so many different poets of different ages both male and female. There are long poems and short ones. There are also different tones and different subjects in the writing styles. Many famous poet s are represented. The years pieces were written are dated.

Neat to see how poetry has evolved but without some sort of literature and history lesson for each time period or biography of the poet, hard to appreciate as is. Language and living is just so different now from then and geography matters too.
