Trade Review
“A colossus among critics. . . . His enthusiasm for literature is a joyous intoxicant.” — New York Times Magazine “Our most valuable critic . . . Harold Bloom reminds us what matters.” — Boston Globe “One feels about Bloom’s focus, every serious reader of poetry really must begin with the works he so ardently loves and champions…this comprehensive anthology is an ideal starting place.” — Booklist “A poetry anthology of and for the ages.” — Los Angeles Times “Whether you love poetry or you want to know more about the art form over the centuries, this is the book you will want.” — Albuquerque Journal “Uncommonly valuable to all who appreciate poetry. . . . This superb anthology will ensure Bloom’s role in the process for a long time and will, I hope, inspire others to walk in his formidable footsteps.” — San Francisco Chronicle
