Selections from Modern Poets is a carefully curated anthology that gathers the finest verse from early twentieth-century British and international poets, assembled by the influential literary editor and critic J. C. Squire. Squire, a towering figure in Georgian poetry circles and long-time editor of the London Mercury, brings a discerning and authoritative eye to the collection, championing accessible yet artistically significant poetry for a broad readership. The anthology presents a rich cross-section of modern poetic voices, illustrating the stylistic range and thematic concerns that defined the era's literary landscape. Its tone is measured and contemplative, reflecting Squire's belief in poetry as a civilising force and a bridge between traditional craft and contemporary sensibility. Now a sought-after period piece, it remains a valuable record of early modern British poetry as seen through one of its most prominent champions.
