The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth Century American Poetry and
Politics shows how American poets have addressed political
phenomena since 1900. This book helps students, teachers, and
general readers make sense of the scope and complexity of the
relationships between poetry and politics. Offering detailed case
studies, this book discusses the relationships between poetry and
social views found in work by well-established authors such as
Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, and Gwendolyn Brooks, as well as
lesser known, but influential figures such as Muriel Rukeyser. This
book also emphasizes the crucial role contemporary African-American
poets such as Claudia Rankine and leading spoken word poets play in
documenting political themes in our current moment. Individual
chapters focus on specific political issues - race, institutions,
propaganda, incarceration, immigration, environment, war, public
monuments, history, technology - in a memorable and teachable way
for poetry students and teachers.
