Synopsis

From the preface, "Considering the great interest in modern poetry, and the variou anthologies covering the period, one is struck by two oustanding facts-- first, the similarity of most compilations of contemporary verse and second, the neglect (and, in many cases, the disparegement) of the poetry of the immediate past. For some time th editor has thought of a volume which would answer both of these objections. The result is this comparative collection, which hopes to bring to light first, a number of the fully representative poems of the period, and second, to provide not merely a background to contemporary verse but an equally satisfying record of the poetry which preceded it.
