'''''Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry''''' is a [[poetry anthology]] edited by Keith Tuma, and published in [[2001 in poetry|2001]] by [[Oxford University Press]]. Tuma is an American academic, and author of the somewhat despairing ''Fishing by Obstinate Isles: Modern and Postmodern British Poetry and American Readers'' (1998), on the topic of the perceived gap between 'mainstream' British poetry and the possible American reception (particularly in [[academia]]). The choice of poets (it, clearly enough, operating at the level of poets as much as poems) is therefore some gesture at remedying a gulf supposed to have opened when [[Ezra Pound]] left London for Paris.
