This anthology of poetry showcases some of the finest works of 20th-century poets, who embodies a style called The New Poetry, which as described by the editors, «It set before itself an ideal of absolute simplicity and sincerity—an ideal which implies an individual, unstereotyped diction; and an individual, unstereotyped rhythm.» Poets featured in this book include T. S. Eliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Rabindranath Tagore.
