The Anthologist is narrated by Paul Chowder -- a once-in-a-while-published kind of poet who's writing the intro to a fresh anthology of poetry. He's having a hard time getting started because his job is floundering, his girlfriend Roz has recently kept him, and he's thinking about the great poets throughout background who have suffered considerably worse and are worthy of to feel sorry for themselves. He in addition has promised to expose many wonderful secrets and guidelines about poetry, and it looks like the introduction is a little much longer than he'd thought.
What unfolds is a wholly amusing and beguiling love account about poetry: from Tennyson, Swinburne, and Yeats to the moderns (Roethke, Bogan, Merwin) to the staff of The New Yorker, what Paul reveals is astonishing and makes one realize how amazingly important poetry is to our lives. At exactly the same time, Paul barely manages to realize all this himself, and the result is a tenderly passionate, hilarious, and encouraged novel.
