This impressive volume provides over 1,500 thoroughly revised and
updated entries on modern poets active from 1910 to the present
day. An extensive guide to the lives of influential poets writing
in English, in Britain and around the world, this companion helps
to illuminate the influences, inspirations, and movements that have
shaped the lives and works of our best-loved poets. First published
in 1994 as the Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Poetry in
English and compiled by a team of 230 experts, including famous
poets such as Blake Morrison and Andrew Motion, this edition also
includes new biographical entries on more contemporary poets such
as Don Paterson, Anne Carson, John Kinsella, and Leslie Marmon
Silko. It also contains insightful entries by well-known peers,
such as Seamus Heaney on Robert Lowell and Anne Stevenson on Sylvia
Plath. The A-Z biographies are complemented by new appendices
including coverage of poetry groups and movements and lists of
anthologies and important poetry prizes and prize-winners. In
addition, many entries include details of in-depth supplementary
material available online on the dedicated companion website. This
superb reference work is the ideal companion for students of
English Literature, Language, and Creative Writing, as well as for
anyone with an interest in modern poetry.
