Enjoying reading poetry a bit more recently, probably cos I only get to read without distractions for short snatches of time, and I left all my books behind when i moved to spain - no more picking things up for cheap in 2nd hand bookshops.

Whats worth spalshing out on?

I do realise this like saying, what music compilations are you into? But I wanted to leave it open and see what you lot come up with

Just read the wasteland, birthday lettersanddeath of a naturalist that I picked up years ago simply because they somehow survived the move to spain

The Norton Anthologies are always good - decent notes and often cheap to pick up second hand. Faber Book of Modern Verse is also pretty decent. Agree with Luke on his recommendations. Bloodaxe have done some good contemporary anthologies - Staying Alive is one I think.
