A new edition of the acclaimed anthology—the most comprehensive collection of twentieth-century poetry in English available.
"The most acute rendering of an era's sensibility is its poetry," wrote the editors in their preface to the first edition. Thirty years later, this innovative, cover-to-cover revision renders with fresh eyes and meticulous care the remarkable range of styles, subjects, and voices in English-language poetry. The newly titled Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry—now available in two paperback volumes—includes 1,596 poems by 195 poets (half of the poems are new), from Walt Whitman and Thomas Hardy in the late nineteenth century to Anne Carson and Sherman Alexie in the twenty-first. The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry continues to be the most comprehensive collection of twentieth-century poetry in English. It richly represents the major figures, while also giving full voice to ethnic American poetries, experimental traditions, postcolonial poetry, and the long poem, eclipsing all other anthologies in scope, clarity, and balance.

I think I read half this book in one night on cocaine in an OK Motor Inn. I'll never do that again. But there's no reason to keep you from doing it better. It's a pricy book, about $100, and closer to five weeknights put together. Caveat Emptor!

This is a truly wonderful anthology-- Nortons are the best. I got this for a class last semester and kept it. It is a two volume set, with one volume of modern poetry (from late 1800's to 1980's) and one volume of contemporary poetry (from 1940's to present). I know the dates overlap, but 'modern' and 'contemporary' are two different poetic idioms that overlapped quite a bit in transition. Modern poetry-- think Ezra Pound, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Butler Yeats. Contemporary-- think Gwendolyn Brooks, W. S. Merwin, Sylvia Plath. Some especially good things about this anthology are the sheer number of poets represented, the section of poetics (writings about poetry by poets), and the thoughtful and enlightening biographical material (much better than in most anthologies).
