Loved this book. I bought it second hand, and the pages have fallen apart on me from over use. I'll have to find a new one now. ( )

I have owned this book for years and years, and I love it as much today as I did when I purchased it! Full of the "famous" poems we all grew up with, this book also surprises the reader with some previously un-heard of poems. A wonderful collection! ( )

This must be among the greatest of all poetry anthologies; great picks through and through ( )

A great anthology, eminently readable and browseable. ( )

There's a lot packed into this little book! Definitely a steal, especially considering the price. It's thick as hell, and is a compilation of all those poems you wish you had somewhere. A great reference tool, as well, because it has all the important ones; it's also good for when you just want to sit down and be guaranteed a good poem. Open up to any page, and you’ll find one!

Immortal Poems

Here is the most inclusive anthology of verse ever published at so low a price. It contains not only the best-known works of the British and American masters but also the verse of the most brillant poets of our own day. Oscar Williams, who compiled Immortal Poems, was a distinguished editor and poet in his own right, of whom Robert Lowell wrote in the Sewanee Review: "Mr. Williams is probably the best anthologist in America today."
