In this generous anthology, Joel Conarroe has assembled the work of eight poets who have shaped—and to some extent defined—American verse since 1940: Elizabeth Bishop, James Merrill, Sylvia Plath, Allen Ginsberg, Theodore Roethke, John Berryman, Anne Sexton, and Robert Lowell. The 164 selections in Eight American Poets include widely anthologized works like Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz," several of Berryman's "Dream Songs," and Anne Sexton's "Ringing the Bells," as well as poems that are less familiar but just as haunting. Prefaced with a discerning introduction and individual biographical essays.

Eight American Poets: An Anthology
I expected to like this more than Six American Poets, which I enjoyed overall, and I guess I did, but the only one of these eight that totally knocked me out was Elizabeth Bishop. I've read a few of her poems before, but boy, this selection is fantastic. I was looking forward to Ginsberg and Sexton, both of whom I generally like, but these selections were a bit of a letdown. (Although I did really like "Kaddish" this time around, and I hadn't before, so that's something for which to be grateful.)
I liked Berryman a little less than I expected, Plath much less, Lowell more, and Roethke and Merrill didn't leave much of an impression. But there was something to appreciate about each of them, and I'll definitely crack open Bishop's Complete Poems: 1927-1979 soon.
