Quote by James Laughlin
We don't attempt to have any theme for a number of the anthology, or to have any particular sequence. We just put in things that we like, and then we try to alternate the prose and the poetry.

Summary
This quote suggests that the selection and arrangement of pieces in an anthology are done without a specific theme or deliberate sequence in mind. The focus is solely on including works that the compiler personally enjoys. The quote further highlights the intention to create a varied anthology by alternating between prose and poetry. In essence, the anthology is a collection of preferred pieces rather than a tightly structured, thematically driven work.
