Louis Ed Untermeyer Books

Louis Untermeyer was a prolific author, editor, and translator whose extensive literary output spanned over one hundred books for readers of all ages. He will be best remembered as a significant anthologist whose collections introduced generations of students to contemporary American poetry. With eclectic tastes and a passion for poetry, Untermeyer dismantled the myth that poetry is an exclusively high-brow art form. His work, ranging from light verse and parodies to collections of his own poems, reflects his liberal worldview and his encouragement of innovation and nonconformity.
