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.

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

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.

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.

This book came to me at the best time possible.

It was also in excellent condition, with only a few pages written in, but nothing too major.

Excellent buy and I hope to purchase from here in the near future.
