I am a bit confused about what should and should not be included in this List. I came here from a link at List of poetry anthologies. I see many of the books in this list are ones that I would consider to be anthologies. My assumption is that a "poetry collection" would be a collection of poems from a single author. gK 04:00, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, this is the older page, and a few of the collections are anthologies - you could rationalise that if you want. Charles Matthews 05:52, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Since you seem to have entered most of the info, I'll let you have the fun of correcting it -- except that the Manyoshu has already been added to the List of poetry anthologies. ;-) I'm currently working on adding info on Japanese poetry and Japanese poets to various lists that are currently rather English-language-centric on the Wikipedia. There are still more important Japanese anthologies to add to the List of poetry anthologies, but there may be a few collections from Japanese poets that I will add here. gK 06:44, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
