With 1,871 poems (351 NEW) and 355 poets (44 NEW), The Norton Anthology of Poetry gives teachers a diverse and flexible core text. No other poetry anthology offers such abundance, which is why students hold onto their anthology long after the course ends; it is their poetry reference for life. The anthology appeared in 1970 and is in its sixth edition, a volume which includes 1,871 poems. [3] The book has been seen as representing a canon. For example, the inclusion of Bob Dylan (whose " Boots of Spanish Leather" was anthologized before he won the Nobel Prize in Literature) was cited as evidence of the acceptance of his credentials as a poet.
