The News from Poems examines a subgenre of recent American
poetrythat closely engages with contemporary political and social
issues. This"engaged" poetry features a range of aesthetics and
focuses on publictopics from climate change to the aftermath of
recent wars in Afghanistanand Iraq to the increasing
corporatization of U.S. culture. The News from Poems brings
together newly commissioned essays byeminent poets and scholars of
poetry and serves as a companion volumeto an earlier anthology of
engaged poetry compiled by the editors. Essaysby Bob Perelman,
Steven Gould Axelrod, Tony Hoagland, Eleanor Wilner,and others
reveal how recent poetry has redefined our ideas of
politics,authorship, identity, and poetics. The volume showcases
the diversity of contemporary American poetry,discussing mainstream
and experimental poets, including some whosework has sparked
significant controversy. These and other poets of ourtime, the
volume suggests, are engaged not only with public events andtopics
but also with new ways of imagining subjectivity, otherness,
andpoetry itself.
