It's the coffee-table version of a poetry anthology; each poems gets its own page, with plenty of space and one column. They give birth and death dates to the authors, but no hint of nationality or biography, and despite that, choose works that need cultural background to explain them. It's a book to show off, but not necessarily to read. ( )
