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.
