I was pleased to find the Oxford available for Kindle, because I have enjoyed a much earlier, print version for nearly 50 years. The navigation feature of the work is excellent, and bookmarking favorite poems and poets is an invaluable aid.



My only complaint, and the one reason why I hesitated to purchase this modern edition, is I knew I would have to wander through the mine field of modern American poets trying to find those whose poetry is not defined by a compulsive use of four-letter words and their many derivatives. Based on a random sample so far of four poets, my misgivings were well-founded. An ideal Kindle feature would be the ability to delete poems and poets that I do not care to have in my house.
