5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant collection for the peripatetic reader of poetry, 29 Dec 1996
By A Customer
A brilliant collection of poems by scores of poets from various countries and various eras. A book that will be well-thumbed by the peripatetic reader who moves from form to form, and from image to image. Milosz's commentary is also poetic. Sometimes he simply provides facts about a poem or a poet, but usually he frames the poem, as if hanging a border to concentrate the qualities of each poem in the reader's eye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic selection to warm & enlighten, 25 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I picked this book up in 'City Lights' in San Francisco and instantly fell in love with it. What a selection. For once, an anthology where I don't already have the poems! There is poetry in translation, poetry by modern writers, poetry from the early centuries, poetry familar, poetry unfamilar yet instantly adored. Each selection comes with a brief explanation, giving those new to poetry a way in, yet each selection is also a deeply felt and original choice. The only possible criticism could be with the world-view the editor projects, but I will be giving this book to several friends this Christmas.

4.0 out of 5 stars PRETTY GOOD, 14 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I thought that this book had some very good poems. Yet, as reading through the ENTIRE book, many of the selected pieces were rather dull. Overall though, it was an enjoyable book of many different types of poetry.
