-----------------------------------
The Faber Book of Modern Verse was a poetry anthology, edited in its first edition by Michael Roberts, and published in 1936 by Faber and Faber. There was a second edition (1951) edited by Anne Ridler, and a third edition (1965) edited by Donald Hall. The selection was of poems in English printed after 1910, which meant that work by Gerard Manley Hopkins could be included. A later edition was edited by Peter Porter.
(WIKIPEDIA)
-----------------------------------
"... Had to read and study some of the poems in this book for college ... There I discovered free verse and modern poets. I know for sure that Eliot's 'Waste Land' was in it, and also 'The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock'. There was Dylan Thomas, GM Hopkins, Louis MacNiece, Auden, Pound, DH Lawrence, Robert Graves, etc.
I think it was the right age to read modern poetry and appreciate the new style of 'free verse'. I am not saying that I 'loved' this book; it was 'study material' for my college degree. One has affection for Palgrave's Golden Treasury; but Michael Roberts opened up a whole new world of poetry for me.
This is essential reading for anyone who loves poetry and wants to write strong solid verse. Not the meaningless cacophony and mindless caterwauling of popular 21st century poetasters ..."
