This book was released on 1996 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an anthology of English verse from the Middle Ages to recent times, from both sides of the Atlantic. Special emphasis has been given to poetry by writers of the Great Plains region (both Canadian and American) and by Aboriginal poets. Intended for introductory classes, poems have been selected with an eye to works--not necessarily easy ones--which address experiences and ideas more readily available to beginning university students and which are more direct and straightforward in expression than many currently anthologized.
