The Oxford Handbook of Modern and Contemporary American Poetry
gives readers a cutting-edge introduction to the kaleidoscopic
world of American poetry over the last century. Offering a
comprehensive approach to the debates that have defined the study
of American verse, the twenty-five original essays contained herein
take up a wide array of topics: the influence of jazz on the Beats
and beyond; European and surrealist influences on style; poetics of
the disenfranchised; religion and the national epic; antiwar and
dissent poetry; the AIDS epidemic; digital innovations;
transnationalism; hip hop; and more. Alongside these topics, major
interpretive perspectives such as Marxist, psychoanalytic,
disability, queer, and ecocritcal are incorporated. Throughout, the
names that have shaped American poetry in the period--Ezra Pound,
Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, Mina Loy, Sterling Brown, Hart
Crane, William Carlos Williams, Posey, Langston Hughes, Allen
Ginsberg, John Ashbery, Rae Armantrout, Larry Eigner, and
others--serve as touchstones along the tour of the poetic
landscape.
