Really quite disappointed by this uninspiring collection. Although it contains many good poems, there are many of odd choices too. The presentation is so uninviting, both in terms of physical layout on the page and the lack of any connection with the reader. I'd love to know 'why' they chose these poems and what drew them to share each (or a group/selection) with the reader. The introduction explaining the choice to put the poems in alphabetical order seems like an excuse and an afterthought.
I would also like to have seen greater representation from other cultures.
A shame considering the editors are poets I enjoy themselves.
There are much better anthologies available.
