This anthology of Contemporary British & American Verse is very comprehensive and it excels all previous anthologies in this field. It begins from W.B.Yeats (b.1865), the Nobel Prize winner, and the first of the modern poets. We also have included the American poets who were born after 1950. Nearly there are two hundred poems. Of course, there are no references but biographical sketches help the students and teachers to know more about the life of the poets. It is a compulsory textbook in post-graduate and under-graduate classes with British and American papers in the curriculum. For a teacher, teaching poetry with the hard copy in the right hand, would be easier than using the soft copy in the computer or mobile. Prof V.R. Badiger, emotionally and intellectually involving in the making of this anthology, has done a tremendous work and it is highly praiseworthy. Dr.Renuka Janbow, being scholar, has gone through the text meticulously. It is hoped that the teachers and students of English and American literatures shall be more benefitted by this anthology which covers the poets of the modern, the post-modern and the contemporary period.
