The New Penguin Book of English Verse is an abitious and revelatory collection that turns the traditional chronolgy of anthologies on its head. Instead of a poet-by-poet ordering, by dates of birth, the collection has been arranged as an uninterrupted sequence of poems, according to their first individual appearance in the language.Combining scholarship with innovation, Keegan's anthology is a timely and much needed addition to the bookshelves of anybody interested in the English language poetry of the British Isles.
