The Norton Anthology of Poetry

The Norton Anthology of Poetry is one of several literary anthologies published by W.W. Norton and Company. It is intended for classroom use,[1] and has sold well.[2]

It appeared in 1970 and is in its fifth edition, a volume which includes 1,828 poems.[3] The book has been seen as representing a canon. For example, the inclusion of Bob Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather" has been cited as acceptance of his credentials as a poet.[4]
