  Nature has dazzled with her work in seasons past and now begins to sculpt with light and colour in yet another masterclass.  The landscape can now run from stormy grey to blizzard white and all manner in between.  Temperatures drop and the change is dramatic, bleak, but beautiful in its own wonder.   
   
  Here, each and every day is celebrated with distinct and separate verse; Some poems commemorate the day it was written, others the birth or death of the writer or a particular significant moment that engages poet with date and verse.   
   
  Once more our classic poets describe the unfolding days…..

  “If readers would like to sample the genius and diversity of American poetry in the last century, there’s no better place to start.” —World Literature Today 
   
  When Harriet Monroe founded Poetry magazine in Chicago in 1912, she began with an image: the Open Door. For a century, the most important and enduring poets have walked through that door—William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens in its first years, Rae Armantrout and Kay Ryan in 2011. And at the same time, Poetry continues to discover the new voices who will be read a century from now. 
   
  To celebrate the magazine’s centennial, the editors combed through Poetry’s incomparable archives to create a new kind of anthology. With the self-imposed limitation to one hundred, they have assembled a collection of poems that, in their juxtaposition, echo across a century of poetry. Here, Adrienne Rich appears alongside Charles Bukowski; famous poems of the two world wars flank a devastating yet lesser-known poem of the Vietnam War; Short extracts from Poetry’s letters and criticism punctuate the verse selections, hinting at themes and threads and serving as guides, interlocutors, or dissenting voices. 
   
  The resulting volume is a celebration of idiosyncrasy and invention, a vital monument to an institution that refuses to be static, and, most of all, a book that lovers of poetry will devour, debate, and keep close at hand.

  Whilst this given name and the poets included can seem at first glance broad and unmanageable the name both historically and artistically is a near perfect fit. Those poets that pledged support to Charles I, a connoisseur and patron of fine arts, were in the main courtiers or closely aligned.  Among their number were Robert Herrick, Richard Lovelace, Thomas Carew and Sir John Suckling. 
  These poets shied away from verse on religion or philosophy but mused instead on love, joy and simpler things very much living for the ‘now’.  And their verse achieves this with a beauty and potency that, despite their powerful and privileged position, speaks for us all. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
