Pretty hard to rate an anthology but my favourites from this textbook were:
FICTION: King of the Bingo Game, Apollo, I'd Love You to Want Me, The Birthmark, and A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings
POETRY: Head, Heart, Divorce, My Last Duchess, Hard Rock Returns to Prison from the Hospital for the Criminal Insane, Hades Welcomes His Bride, Googling Ourselves, Cream of Wheat, My Therapist Wants to Know about My Relationship to Work, My Father in English, and Sestina: Like
DRAMA: Trifles, Fences, and A Doll House
Overall, definitely the most interesting textbook I've read, but some of those poems... wow I really considered switching my major.
