Query: Lacks poems from good poets, too broad sampling from inferior poets

This books is very disappointing. Many, many of the poets are 2nd rate and their poems take up valuable space. One can't escape the fact that this is a politically correct collection, though in all honesty it could have been worse. Many of the poets should have been referenced in an essay or essays in this long book. The authors should have used Oscar Williams' collections of American and British poetry as their model. Goia is a would-be formalist, but a decidedly inferior poet and his taste, given this anthology is bad. No poems from Katharine Byer, Christine Garren, Ellen Voight, or Edgar Bowers(no Bowers, what a joke!) or many other first rate poets with something to say and who say it well. Many will say it's just opinion, but the anthologists must be held accountable for their selections (and hence their opinions). Not worth buying at any price.
