I love this little book of poems April 16, 2009
R. Robinson (DC)
I love this little book of poetry! The icing on the cake is reading someone like Langston Hughes in the same volume as Walt Whitman and Emily Dickenson. In college, I had to have two books: One for the African-American Poets and another for the American Poets??? Plus, this volume is the perfect size for a bookworm like me who carries around 2 or 3 books at any one time--of course a Kindle would solve that problem! Will my wife ever get the hints???
 A solid collection with a few skippable poems December 3, 2008

I bought this book to introduce my students to American poetry from different time periods, and in that respect the book did what I needed it to do. Even so, I would have liked to see more contemporary poetry and a wider variety of styles. I know that any compilation like this is going to focus on traditional canon poetry, but I would have like to see a little more variation. Even so, it has a lot of great stuff in it and I recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive reference or collection.
The American school anthology May 2, 2005

This is a wonderful collection of American poetry classics. It contains most of the poems that have been taught through the years in American schools as the ' classics ' of American Literature. It does not really touch the American poetry of the past fifty years.
Most of its poems are the shorter poems of great poetic masters , for instance for Wallace Stevens, " Thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird' and the 'Emperor of Ice- Cream' but not the 'Idea of Order at Key West' for Eliot, " Prufrock" but not the "Wasteland " or the "Quartets".
A wonderful collection most highly recommended.
