  This is an anthology of English epigrams from 1550 to the present day. It covers major and lesser poets from Anon to Auden, Sir Thomas Wyatt to John Updike and includes poets from Britain and the Commonwealth as well as America. An epigram is a pungent, frequently satirical poem, its compression often lending itself to concisely expressed filth, or grief, or love.
