Poets Laureate Anthology: New Volume Features Works by Top Poets

摘要

Since 1937, the Librarian of Congress has periodically appointed a Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry who aims to raise the public's appreciation for poetry. Works by each of the 43 poets who have held the country's top poetry position have been compiled in "The Poets Laureate Anthology," a new volume published by the Library of Congress in cooperation with W.W. Norton. This groundbreaking work, full of some of the world's best-known poems and many new surprises, charts the course of American poetry over the past 75 years.
