This is a really nice collection of poets and poems. I liked the short biographies as introduction to each poet. Personally I would have liked to see more than one poem for each poet (which is the case for quite a few in this collection). Any less than two poems and I don't feel I really get to know a poet's style, let alone if I will want to read further works by them. However, it is nice to see how many predominant female poets there have been throughout American history.
