Immortal Poems of the English Language Author:Oscar Williams (Editor) Immortal Poems
Here is an inclusive anthology of verse. 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.
For those interested in modern poetry, this anthology is quite a bit dated by now. But if you are interested in looking at the sweep of english poetry over the past few centuries, this is a pretty good book.
