The New Yorker Book of Poems

Selected by editors of The New Yorker.

A dazzling array of poems by practically every recognized American and British poet of the twentieth century. Some nine hundred poems, by such authors as Plath, Graves, Simpson, Bishop, Moss, Pound, Stafford, Wilbur, Williams, Updike, Nabokov, Jarrell, Dickey, Moore, Roethke, Rukeyser, Mailer and hundreds of others. A book unparalleled in scope—a book essential for the library, the home, a gift, a basic reference. A veritable Who’s Who of twentieth-century poetry.

***Note: There is a handwritten inscription on the title page addressed to the previous owner, Michael, for Christmas of 1994. Priced accordingly, though this is an example of used bookshop charm!
