This book is an excellent text for teaching undergraduate poetry, especially introductory courses. The range and quality of selections are superb, though I would like to see a few more poets included, such as Edward Brathwaite from the West Indies, rap-soul poet Saul Williams, Jorie Graham and Gertrude Stein. But you can't include everyone, and this selection is as good as it gets for a text of this manageable size. I really like this book.
I only got it because it was required for the course. However, it is a decent anthology and has a very comprehensive introduction. Its missing some very famous poems but it has others that are new and interesting. Overall for the price its good. The quality of the binding is pretty good and it will withstand going to school with you everyday.
Needed this book for a class I took. I'm not much into poetry but this book does have some good examples of different styles of poems. Seemed to be a good book to use for the class.
just start reading this book now, and I pretty like it. It will be a challenge for me because English is my second language; well, hopefully it won't let me down.
This is a great book to practice with poems. It helped me a lot in my English class. It's very easy to read.
Required text book for my daughter who hated poetry, but with the selection of poems in this book, English Lit became one of her favorite courses. It contains "good poetry"
Purchased Seagull Reader Poems for school. This book is competent, well packed, and provides an excellent selection of poems from well known to unknown poets. A great buy.
it did what it was supposed to do....allow me to read the poems for class with ease and comfort. the background info was great...good book
