"The Poetics of the American Suburbs" is the first book to consider
the rich body of poetry that emerged from and helped to shape the
post-war American suburbs. Jo Gill discusses the work of forty or
more writers--some well-known, such as Anne Sexton and Langston
Hughes, others not primarily known through their poetry such as
John Updike, and some who were best-sellers in their own time but
have since largely been forgotten such as Phyllis McGinley.
Combining detailed textual and archival study with insights drawn
from other disciplines, the book offers a new perspective on
post-war suburbia and on the broader field of twentieth-century
American literature.
