100 Poets - A Little Anthology

John Carey here presents a uniquely valuable anthology of verse based on a simple principle: select the one-hundred greatest poets from across the centuries, and then choose their finest poems. Ranging from Homer and Sappho to Plath and Angelou, this is an accessible introduction to the very best that poetry can offer.
