The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Poetry is the first
collection of essays to explore postcolonial poetry through
regional, historical, political, formal, textual, gender, and
comparative approaches. The essays encompass a broad range of
English-speakers from the Caribbean, Africa, South Asia, and the
Pacific Islands; the former settler colonies, such as Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand, especially non-Europeans; Ireland,
Britain's oldest colony; and postcolonial Britain itself,
particularly black and Asian immigrants and their descendants. The
comparative essays analyze poetry from across the postcolonial
anglophone world in relation to postcolonialism and modernism,
fixed and free forms, experimentation, oral performance and creole
languages, protest poetry, the poetic mapping of urban and rural
spaces, poetic embodiments of sexuality and gender, poetry and
publishing history, and poetry's response to, and reimagining of,
globalization. Strengthening the place of poetry in postcolonial
studies, this Companion also contributes to the globalization of
poetry studies.
