The Voice That Is Great Within Us by Hayden Carruth
"What an achievement, these sixty years of poetry! In whatever terms we Americans regard the rest of our recent history, the score of things done well and done ill, this much at least we have done superlatively."-Hayden CarruthThis famous anthology includes the works of more than 130 major American poets of the modern period-Robert Frost, Paul Goodman, Carl Sandburg, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Allen Ginsberg, and Gwendolyn Brooks among them-along with short biographies of each.
"Not only the best on its period, I think, but is even perhaps safe from the competition of rivals."-Robert Lowell
Hayden Carruth (1921-2008) lived in northern Vermont for many years before moving to upstate New York to teach at Syracuse University. Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey earned the National Book Award, while Collected Shorter Poems won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
