The Columbia Grangers Index To Poetry In Anthologies

Indexes anthologies published through 31 Jan 1997.

While "Grangers(R)" is the most comprehensive index to poetry in anthologies, there are thousands of poems that have not yet been anthologized. "The Columbia Grangers(R) Index to Poetry in Collected and Selected Works" can help you locate these poems that are otherwise more difficult to find. This volume indexes the collected and selected works of leading poets -more than 50,000 poems by 251 poets in 275 volumes. Multiple indexes for many points of entry include a title, author, and subject index.

Indexes anthologies published through 31 Jan 1997.

The first edition (1991) is cited in Walford and ARBA 1992. This greatly expanded second edition includes comprehensive evaluations of 800 anthologies--all those indexed in the seventh through tenth editions of The Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry. It covers more than twice as many anthologies as the first edition--including some significant new anthologies to be indexed in the forthcoming Granger's Eleventh--and includes a list of highly recommended anthologies. Essential for collection development, but valuable also as a reference for the reading public (many libraries will want two copies). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Publisher description: Each edition of Granger's includes title, first line, last line, author, and subject indexes for approximately 400 poetry anthologies, including approximately 150 anthologies published since the last edition, substituting them for 150 anthologies that have since fallen out of use.

**** Cited under its present title in Walford, 5th ed. and under its previous title, Granger's Index to Poetry, in BCL3 and Sheehy. In response to the desires expressed by librarians, the revised and updated tenth edition of this famous reference adds an index by last line, allowing users who remember the title, first line, or last line of a poem to locate 70,000 English-language poems in some 400 anthologies. Also included are an author index and a subject index containing some 3,400 categories. Note: the ISBN embossed on the back cover mistakenly identifies the 9th edition.
