The Dialects of the Tribe provides an overview of the various
schools of poetry that developed during the second half of the
twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first. It
provides insights into the methods, concerns, and poems of many of
the prominent poets of the period, and a critical assessment of the
development of contemporary poetic movements including the most
recent, Neoformalism, which brought a return of prosodic concerns
from the hinterlands of anti-intellectualism to which formal poetry
had been exiled during the `fifties and `sixties, though the
egocentric `seventies and into the greedy `eighties. Lewis Putnam
Turco, perhaps the most respected poet-critic in the United States,
is the author of more than fifty chapbooks, monographs, and books
of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction over more than a half-century
including The Book of Forms: A Handbook of Poetics, which has been
called 'The poet's bible' by several generations of American
teachers and poets since its first edition in 1968 and through its
fourth edition in 2011.The poet and critic James Dickey said in an
unsolicited endorsement in 1986 that it 'Belongs in the hands of
every poet, student, and teacher, for the greater good of the art.'
