This article presents information on the book "New Poems: 1940. An Anthology of British and American Verse," edited by Oscar Williams. This book, reportedly, is a collection of poems. Thirty-six poets are represented in this collection, eight of them British, the rest American. A comparatively bigger space for poems of British poet, George Barker has been provided in this collection. According to the author of this article, behind most of the poems the reader senses or should sense the presence of a moment in history great with threats. The poems depend for their emotion upon this sensed presence.
