Contemporary American poetry can often seem intimidating and
daunting in its variety and complexity. This engaging and
accessible book provides the first comprehensive introduction to
the rich body of American poetry that has flourished since 1945 and
offers a useful map to its current landscape. By exploring the
major poets, movements, and landmark poems at the heart of this
era, this book presents a compelling new version of the history of
American poetry that takes into account its variety and breadth,
its recent evolution in the new millennium, its ever-increasing
diversity, and its ongoing engagement with politics and culture.
Combining illuminating close readings of a wide range of
representative poems with detailed discussion of historical,
political, and aesthetic contexts, this book examines how poets
have tirelessly invented new forms and styles to respond to the
complex realities of American life and culture.
