The Penguin Anthology of 20th Century American Poetry (Penguin Group, $40, 656 pp.) edited by Pulitzer Prize winner and former US Poet Laureate Rita Dove includes selections by Gwendolyn Brooks, e.e. cummings, and Terrance Hayes. "[These] are the poems I see emblazoned on pennants along the road we have just traversed," Dove writes in her introduction. For students this book is a valuable resource and for poetry lovers it's a deep pleasure.
