This is a wonderful anthology. It includes portraits of all kinds of people, both historical/famous and anonymous; portraits of relatives, group portraits and even one of a cat and one of a train station! The range is wide but not overwhelming - 101 poems by almost as many poets - from Catallus (c.84-54 BC) to Michael Hofmann (1957-). The poems are vaguely grouped together according to theme (a great daisy chain), which gives a pleasant sense of continuity.
