Games of Venus: An Anthology of Greek and Roman Erotic Verse from Sappho to Ovid
The ancient poems are the best, of course. I've always loved Chinese and Japanese love poetry in particular, and there are plenty of those here, in addition to some surprising offerings like a haunting poem by an anonymous Somali woman. Overall, excellent anthology. Things slide a bit when it comes to the modern poems, as may be expected.
Normally I read all prefaces, forewords, introductions, etc., and encourage others to do the same, but don't waste your time with Sam Hamill's preface. He comes to the conclusion that there is a spiritual component to erotic love as if this is new information, as if this will surprise anyone who's ever been in love, lost love, or dreamed of love. He doesn't really introduce the material. But read the poems, they're great.
