5.0 out of 5 stars The best..., April 7, 2004

By A Customer

...series of American poetry anthologies, easily. Almost a thousand pages of verse per volume, excellent selections, helpful biographies and notes. Volumes One and Two are better still as their contents were selected exclusively by the peerlessly tasteful John Hollander, who wisely gives about half the space to the half-dozen greats (Whitman, Dickinson, Emerson, Melville, Longfellow, Bryant). These are among the best volumes of the invaluable Library of America series. Volumes Three and Four, covering the early 20th Century, are also available here and superb. Read these four through and this year will be twice as rich as last year.
