This collection provides more access points to poetry than the poetry books themselves, more than 50,000 poems by 251 authors are indexed including those that most people had forgotton about.
A substantial poetry index capturing anthologies and collected and selected volumes written in or translated into English. Not content to leave it at that, the editors also supply subject indexing and a title and first line index. The selections represent Catallus and Bukowski, indicating a generous inclusion policy and because poems are cross referenced through the anthologies, the Beatles make this hit list as well.
