Pocket Anthologies: Poetry, 7/e

• Brief and affordable! This pocket-sized anthology allows instructors and students to focus on the poems, with a minimum of pedagogical apparatus–at a cost well under that of traditional anthologies.
• Chronologically organized, the selections represent the full range of poetic tradition from popular ballads to contemporary work. 
• Diversity and flexibility are reflected in the selections by women and writers of color–representing over a third of the book–and by the inclusion of virtually every traditional poetic form used in English-language poetry. 
• An Introduction to Poetry discusses the origins of the genre, its literary elements, and key terms, and Writing about Poetry offers instruction for writing essays, including sample student papers, as well as coverage of MLA citations.
• An Index of Critical Terms provides a cross-referenced list of terms covered in the text.
