I am in the market to get a full collection of Donne's poetry and was wondering if anybody could recommend a specific edition and why it would be better.
Right now I am looking at:
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-English-Poems-Everymans-Library/dp/0679405585/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1465689316&sr=8-5&keywords=Donne
and
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Poetry-Selected-Library-Classics/dp/0375757341/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Maybe you all have a third recommendation which would be appreciated too. I want all the poetry he wrote but one of them has some of his prose but the other one is hardcover and I don't know anything about his prose work.

Go with the Wordsworth one.

It says collected though so it wouldn't be complete? Is it more portable is that what it has over the others?
Price doesn't matter by the way, they're all relatively cheap.

collected is the same thing as complete
it really doesn't matter which one you get, get whichever looks best and whichever has the introduction by whoever interests you the most. also whichever has the least amount of editing done. footnotes etc are up to you, pick whichever has more or less depending on your wants. i didnt open your links. everyman's generally has decent footnotes and not too many of them. introductions vary but generally decent
