Description: Combined Edition Modern American Poetry and Modern British Poetry ••• A Critical Anthology Edited By Louis Untermeyer First Combined Edition 1942 Harcourt, Brace, & Co., New York, 1942. Very Good+, no Jacket. Originally published in separate volumes. There is so much materials in both sections that it is hard to summerize. Each poet is listed with short selections of their works. Louis Untermeyer was the author, editor or compiler, and translator of more than one hundred books for readers of all ages. He will be best remembered as the prolific anthologist whose collections have introduced students to contemporary American poetry since 1919. Untermeyer's interest in poetry led to friendships with poets from three generations, including many of the century's major writers. His tastes were eclectic. Martin Weil related in the Washington Post that Untermeyer once "described himself as 'a bone collector' with 'the mind of a magpie.'" He was a liberal who did much to allay the Victorian myth that poetry is a high-brow art. "What most of us don't realize is that everyone loves poetry," he was quoted by Weil as saying, pointing out the rhymes on the once-ubiquitous Burma Shave road signs as an example.
