Crazy that this anthology wasn't kept in print. It chooses a hundred poems, from anonymous songs to the generation of poets born before 1928, to give a lovely and synoptic view of poetry in English for the ages. It's almost a form unto itself, and Graham introduces it with a sharp and intelligent essay. A coda includes a poem from Michael Palmer's Notes for Echo Lake sequence. I think it's terrific but apparently others did not because it went out of print with astonishing rapidity. Some small press should buy the rights from Ecco.
