Joining Music With Reason. 34 Poets, British and American

A collection of poetry compiled by Christopher Ricks, Oxford Professor of Poetry between 2004 and 2009, who during his tenure arranged for 29 poets - a roughly equal mixture of British and American, established and new - to read from their work. This book brings together a generous selection of work by all of those poets and also contains a coda, which features poems by five Oxford poets of the 1950s.
