In this article, the author focuses on books, "The Best Poems of 1941," edited by Thomas Moult, "Anthology of Magazine Verse, 1938-1942," edited by Alan F. Pater, and "An American Anthology," edited by Tom Boggs. Moult has been assembling "the year's best" for twenty years now, and he reminds readers that "the word "best" is used only in the sense that poems included are his own artistic preferences. Certainly Moult's latest preferences make it more than usually clear that he is as fallible as anyone else, he usually avoids the utterly bad, but now people get a stiff dose of it.
