Each volume in this series features the poems of six poets with introductions to their work by the editor. Some of the poems have not been previously published in book form. Where possible, comments by the poets on their own work have been included. Each book focuses on: 1. A modern master who continues to influence those now writing in the English language; 2. A living poet celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic; 3. A poet's poet who has been somewhat neglected by the reading public; 4. A poet who has recently died but whose work is very much alive; 5. A new young poet whose reputation has already begun to grow; 6. A poet never before published in book form by a London-based commercial printer.
