Publisher's Synopsis
Classics and Contemporaries Edited by one of America's premier literary scholars, The Norton Introduction to Poetry offers over 525 poems in a compact and portable format. Professor Hunter's teacherly but unobtrusive commentary provides just the sort of help new readers of poetry need to appreciate the form and the context of a poem. Newly included works in the Seventh Edition by poets such as Denise Levertov, W.H. Auden, Yvonne Sapia, Simon Ortiz, Cathy Song, Allen Ginsberg, Miller Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Dwight Okita and Seamus Heaney enrich an already incomparable collection.
