The selection, which begins with the seventeenth century, includes British, Indian and American poets who are fairly representative of their age and genre. However, the anthology has a tilt towards contemporary poetry.

This selection is focused on poems which best portray the poet's skill and brilliance rather than those usually anthologized.
