Poetry anthology recommendations please

[Benny Bunter]

I got a bilingual edition, so most of the more extreme-verging-on-daft composite word translation choices (by Pierre Joris) are validated when you see the German alongside the English.

Can't believe no one recommended me Peter Jay's Greek Anthology till now (bless you @craner but you took your time). It's amazing, everyone should read it. The way it's put together and the quality of the translations is so impressive. There's only a handful by Ezra Pound in there but I'm assuming all of the other translators in there were influenced by his approach, there's none of that flowery consciously 'poetical' shit in there, it's all absolutely rock hard.

Why doesn't Craner contribute more to the poetry threads?
