The Bloodaxe Book of 20th Century Poetry

Bloodaxe, a major publisher of British poetry, collects here a sampling of English language poetry culled from England, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, and America. Chronologically arranged, a brief selection of work by 59 poets is introduced by a short biographical sketch. Big guns of the early part of the century, like Plath, Eliot, and Larkin, are joined by newer voices, like Tom Leonard and Medbh McGuckian. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
