The poems collected in this new Oxford anthology--all under 14 lines long--vary greatly in theme, style and tone, but in each case, brevity reveals the poets at their best, both as individual artists and as exemplars of the genre. Besides the great masters of the short poem--Ben Jonson, Robert Herrick, Emily Dickinson, W.B. Yeats, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Frost--the volume includes less well-known poets such as Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, William Drummond of Hawthornden, Francis Quarles, Arthur Symons, and Laurie Lee.
