According to Helen Vendler, the value of any poetry anthology is measured by its representation of major poets. However, Brad Leithauser argues that an anthology has the greatest impact through its handling of minor poets. Were the editors of an anthology of twentieth-century American poetry to exclude T. S. Eliot, Eliot's reputation would be unaffected, though the anthology itself would be handicapped by excluding one of the most influential English-language poets of the Period. The situation is quite different with figures who are considered secondary, like Sara Teasdale or Allen Tate: because publishers rarely keep in print volumes by poets who sell in modest numbers, most such poets have no noteworthy existence outside of anthologies.
Furthermore, anthology editors' selections of particular poems may significantly benefit or harm the reputations of minor poets. If notable works by major poets are omitted, serious readers will easily find those poets' collected works elsewhere, but editors' choices of minor poets' works may make the critical difference in whether or not readers choose to seek out more of such poets' work.
