The extent to which American poetry reinvented itself after World
War II is a testament to the changing social, political and
economic landscape of twentieth-century American life. Registering
an important shift in the way scholars contextualize modern and
contemporary American literature, this Companion explores how
American poetry has documented and, at times, helped propel the
literary and cultural revolutions of the past sixty-five years.
This Companion sheds new light on the Beat, Black Arts and other
movements while examining institutions that govern poetic practice
in the United States today. The text also introduces seminal
figures like Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery and Gwendolyn Brooks while
situating them alongside phenomena such as the 'academic poet' and
popular forms such as spoken word and rap, revealing the breadth of
their shared history. Students, scholars and readers will find this
Companion an indispensable guide to post-war and late
twentieth-century American poetry.
