Provocative Amazon customer review of Keith Tuma's Anthology of
Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry (Paperback)
Quote:
"This isn't "critical pluralism". It's an attempt to canonize a postmodern
clique by juxtaposing their work with the likes of Seamus Heaney.
Moreover, it isn't even a believeable anthology from a postmodern
standpoint. Where's J. H. Prynne? Excluding him is like leaving John
Ashbery out of an anthology of modern American poetry."
