Encyclopedia of American Poetry: The Twentieth Century (Hardcover)

This reference treats a broad range of individual poets and poems, along with many articles devoted to discrete topics, schools, or periods of American verse in the 20th century. Entries are divided into: poet entries - providing biographical and cultural contexts for the author's career, with critical evaluation of the most salient poems or volumes of verse in her/his development; entries on individual works - offering closer explication of the most resonant poems in the 20th-century canon; and topical entries - offering analyses of a given period of literary production such as the Harlem Renaissance, a formal rubric (Free Verse), a school or a distinctive mode of expression (Black Mountain School, Confessional Poetry), a more thematically constructed category (Gay and Lesbian Poetry), and other verse traditions that historically have been in dialogue with the poetry of the United States (Canadian Poetry, Caribbean Poetry).
