The effect of this anthology is like that of a classic, high-aiming talk show as a selective generational gathering of remarkable current or recent American poets. The choice is meticulously reliable, but the volume is superbly orchestrated beyond that basic music, providing a brief essay about each poet. This book brings readers up to date, in reasonable detail and depth, with later writers who are almost certain to last-and whose influence on many poets writing now is visceral and intricate. Nearly any reader will want to own this. This book is a creative achievement. The poets are selected keeping in mind of the syllabus of Indian Universities.
