    Works by American and British writers illuminate the development of modern poetry.

    A revised and expanded edition of the classic groundbreaking anthology of 20th-century American women's poetry, representing more than 100 poets from Amy Lowell to Anne Sexton to Rita Dove.

    Including authors such as Clifford Simak, Harry Harrison, Bruce Sterling, A. E. Van Vogt and Brian Aldiss himself, these stories portray struggles against machines, epic journeys, genetic experiments, time travellers and alien races. From stories set on Earth, to uncanny far distant worlds and ancient burnt-out suns, the one constant is humanity itself, compelled by an often fatal curiosity to explore the boundless frontiers of time, space and probability.Thirty short stories and a novella, first published in Penguin Modern Classics November 2007 with a cover illustration by Jim Burns. The new stories are:• James Tiptree, Jr : And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side• Bruce Sterling : Swarm• Greg Bear : Blood Music• Fredric Brown : Answer• Kim Stanley Robinson : Sexual Dimorphism• Eliza Blair : Friends in Need• James Inglis : Night Watch• Ted Chiang : Story of Your Life• Garry Kilworth : Alien Embassy• John Crowley : Great Work of Time

    From the front cover: "American Indian poetry, Afro-American blues and narratives, the scared writings of the Shakers and other native sects, the verse experiments of the early twentieth century, side by side with established and forgotten poets from colonial times to the 1970s, reveal the hidden unity and power of America's poetry."

    Geoffrey Grigson was arguably the century's greatest poetry anthologist -- a man whose breadth of reading was equaled only by his infallible taste.

The final stories in each unit are original to this volume, each written by then- rising young writers relatively new to the genre.
