I've recently finished Mary Oliver's A Poetry Handbook and have begun writing my own poems (just for fun). I feel though that I may be limited by my having read little poetry. So, I'm searching for anthology recommendations to get some inspiration.
I'm not really looking for collections of "classics," just a large collection of poems generally considered to be "very good," and maybe leaning more towards contemporary (late 19th century onwards?). But I'd welcome recommendations outside of these guidelines too if anyone feels particularly strongly about some collection.
I'm someone who lived in SWO too and I'd hesitate to even call Boler affordable. My parents would send me there in middle school with a $100 bill when I went with my friends. This was enough to cover a day pass, equipment rental, and a meal. That's a ridiculous price for a child to do something for 4-5 hours. It's hard to justify even for a middle class family like mine, which is why I only went a handful of times.
