Selections from Modern Poets (Classic Reprint)

4/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Selections From Modern Poets

It is irritating to feel that even Within its own limits it does not appear to myself-not to mention others - as good or as nearly representative as it might have been. Permission could not be obtained to print Mr Masefield's Biography and his August 1914, which I personally happen to prefer to any of his shorter works. Since the time in 1919 - 20 when I was compiling the book two volumes have come out from which I should like to have made large selections Edmund Blunden's The Waggoner and the late Wilfrid Owen's Poems. Each of these poets is inadequately represented here; and a few things by others, who do not appear here at all, came to my notice when it was too late to put them in.
