S&F has distinct styles for each chapter and at times gets experimental. the picture it paints of the south and of cambridge, ma are vivid, but gotten at by weird modernist angles.

It's hard to know what to make of these lists. "Top 100 BOOKS" is too broad a category. That would include fiction and non-fiction, poetry and epics, philosophy etc. This really looks more or less like 100 top novels list with some exceptions (Hamlet, Paradise Lost, the Bible, a few philosophical texts). It's a strange mish-mash. This list also skews very heavily toward the 20th century. I am not opposed to top 100 lists based on surveys, but the results are not worth get worked up over one way or another.

there are so many 1000+ page poetry anthologies available secondhand if you search hard enough
my advice is to find a "English poetry" or "American poetry" anthology because poetry in translation is typically middling at best.
I have that Norton one though and its awesome.
STAY AWAY from any poetry compilation that has the word "contemporary" or "modern" in its title
