"Poet's Choice," edited by Paul Engle and Joseph Langland, is a captivating anthology published by Time Incorporated in 1966 as part of the Time Reading Program Special Edition. Originally copyrighted in 1962 by The Dial Press, this edition brings a curated collection of poetry to modern readers, complete with a new introduction by Paul Engle. This trade paperback edition, published in New York, is distinct for its association with the Time Reading Program, which sought to bring quality literature to a wider audience. Engle and Langland, both respected poets and educators, have compiled a selection that reflects their deep engagement with the poetic form. This edition is not a first printing but offers a unique glimpse into the mid-20th-century literary landscape. The book is in good condition, with the absence of a dust jacket typical for trade paperbacks. It is a valuable addition for collectors of poetry anthologies and those interested in the works of Engle and Langland.
