"The Best Poetry of Our Times"

I purchased this poetry anthology for $10 from an Orange County bookstore. (We were then waiting for a relative--Dr. Sonia Bumagat who works at Kaiser.) It contains the best poetry of our times, according to Michael Schmidt, who edited it. The poets, in black- and- white photo collage, that appear in the jacket include Allen Ginsberg, Robert Frost and Sylvia Plath. Here are parts of these great poems: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre/The falcon can not hear the falconer;/ Things fall apart; the center can not hold;/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." --WB Yeats///" Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,/Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,/Silence the pianos and with muffled drum/Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come." --W.H. Auden// "For I have known them all, known them all--/Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,/I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."--T.s. Elliot// Two roads diverged into a wood, and I--/I took the one less traveled by,/And that has made all the difference."--Robert Frost  / Photo caption (top): With our grandchildren Jeric, now a medical college student in Ervine, and in the Dean's List of Scholars, and Anib-Israel, Jr. at Wal-Mart in Temecula
