anthologizes

Gathers chosen works

Anthologizes means compiles or includes in an anthology—a collection of selected literary works, passages, or other creative pieces.

An editor anthologizes poems by gathering the best examples into a single volume: The book anthologizes overlooked women writers of the nineteenth century.

A work that gets anthologized gains recognition through inclusion in such collections.
