The Golden Treasury

With a foreword by Carol Ann Duffy

The Golden Treasury gathers the finest short poems in the English language. Compiled by an educator, the anthology is strictly focused on highlighting artistic excellence. Three decades after its release, Francis Turner Palgrave revised the collection, excluding the works of most living poets on Tennyson’s advice. Nonetheless, it remains one of the most widely reprinted and canonical anthologies in the history of English poetry.
