The List of the Top 500
As the 500 nears the end of its run, I've been thinking of a good way for anyone who's interested to review the titles we've posted over the last 15 months. Don't know if anyone really would want to, but having the list of the 500 to scan would be more convenient than going back through the threads. Saffron had come up with the solution of google books, and that works almost perfectly. I say "almost" because for some odd reason the last page of the list, 469-500, is omitted. I had hoped to copy and paste the list into this thread, but that isn't possible. So you can go to http://books.google.com/books?id=nXmPoi ... &q&f=false, if you want to see the list. If interested in seeing the last 31 poems, just go back to the original thread. I guess you also could buy Harmon's book, probably available for cheap, used, on amazon.

Re: The List of the Top 500
It is going to take a few posts and a few days to publish the full list of Top 500. As you read the list remember these are the top 500 anthologized poems. One would hope that quality would figure in somewhere, but I am not so sure it really does. Taste over time and what is marketable surely does figure in.

Re: The List of the Top 500
Phew! I am done. I made several observations while typing this list, some interesting and some not. One that startled me was that there were many titles I swear I'd never laid eyes on before typing. Scary how much a brain can forget. I noticed that more times than chance would have it, poems from the same poet came in succession. I think this must have something to do with how poems are selected to be included in an anthology, i.e. if poem x by poet Tom is included than poem y is also put in as a companion or because the editor would like to have two examples of the poets work. Does this make sense to anyone besides me?
