« All quotes from this author
 

The anthology meets with two different kinds of reactions in living poets. They will either write toward the anthology or away from it. Anti-anthology poets often overreach themselves, inflicting protective distortions on their work - as parents in old Central Europe often deliberately maimed their sons to save them from compulsory military service.
--
Laura Riding and Robert Graves, from A Pamphlet Against Anthologies (Doubleday, 1928)
