This edition of The Oxford Book of American Poetry has been brought completely up to date and dramatically expanded by poet David Lehman. It is a rich, capacious volume, featuring the work of more than 200 poets. Lehman has gathered together all the works one would expect to find in a landmark collection of American poetry, from Whitman's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry to Eliot's The Waste Land. But equally important, he has significantly expanded the range of the anthology, including not only writers born since the previous edition, but also many fine poets overlooked in earlier editions or little known in the past but highly deserving of attention. With a succinct and often witty head note introducing each author, it is certain to become the definitive anthology of American poetry for our time.
