Description
Book SynopsisBringing together fifty years of exciting modernisms,
The New Anthology of American Poetry includes over 600 poems by sixty-five American poets writing between 1900 and 1950.
Trade ReviewBy embracing the guiding principle of 'traditions and revolutions,' the editors of this marvelous anthology have produced a rich, exciting text that surprises, engages, and challenges readers like no other such book has done. Its thoughtful inclusiveness, lucid introductions, and helpful notes make it supremely teachable. This work establishes a new benchmark for poetry anthologies." —Emory Elliott, editor,
