I have 'This Is Poetry' and can't complain about the book at all.

I have new explorations. It's grand, has background info on the poets, and the poems. Does the job

I have this is poetry! Has the poems in the front section and goes through themes, tone etc. for each one at the back.

My teacher also uses poetry focus though so I would say they're both really similar.
