THE VIRTUAL ANTHOLOGY -Installment one

I have found myself washed upon the island of Manhattan with much less room than Prospero had for his library. A simple 'drats' will not do... By way of solution I would like to offer 'The Virtual Anthology', a selection of poems that will, weekly, grow. Some will be more less popular, but these are the hors d'oeuvres I have cobbled into a meal. ~ d w Stojek

Geoffrey Hill's
"Ovid in the Third Reich"

Stevie Smith's
"Waving Not Drowning"

Hart Crane's
"Chaplinesque"

Andre Breton's and Phillipe Soupault's
"The Magnetic Fields"

and the final entry for today is W H Auden's,
"In Praise of Limestone"
