William Stanley Braithwaite, a talented poet in his own right, was most notable for his anthologies of poetry including these annual collections that spanned at least twelve years from 1913 to 1924. These were composed of poems written in that year, and included a wide range of poetry from classical to avant-garde. As an African American, he also included many selections from other African American poets. He is recognized as a significant publisher of Harlem Renaissance poets. This volume includes poets such as Vachel Lindsay., Bliss Carman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Joyce Kilmer, Madison Cawein, Sara Teasdale, and many others. (Summary by Larry Wilson)
