libs's review
4.0
My aunt doesn't like poetry, but she always says she wishes she could enjoy. I suggested this book, and after she'd read (and enjoyed!) it, she loaned her copy to me. And, not to brag, but this was a great suggestion. It has a really wide range of poets - lots of well-known names that I recognise from my school English anthologies, some really influential poets and then the younger poets they seem to have influenced. It's not 4* for liking all the poems in it (frankly some of them were terrible) but 4* for being a solid survey of 25 years of poetry, for having a bit of many things, and for having a few of my favourite poets in which biased me to like it more anyway.
