More like: Antologija najdosadnije poezije 20. veka (uz nekoliko izuzetaka odveć poznatih klasika).

I would buy it. The notes are great, and I feel like it's a history/cultural lesson in poetry?

verumsolum's review against another edition
3.0
I have read every poem in this anthology and have come to one conclusion: I don't think I'm a huge poetry fan.
That said, I've read a century's worth of poems, but my main thought on finishing this book, more than four months after I started it is: It's done!
I don't think the issues with this are the fault of the poets or the editors, for the most part: I think it's just that, with more than 750 pages worth of content, that's a lot of poetry. And it is difficult to read all of that in any manner that respects the poems it contains and the poets who wrote them. Or, at least, it was for me.
So, for now, I'm a bit burned out on poetry. But next time I try it, I think I'll choose a much shorter volume than this!
