The Way Out dares to enter the many underworlds of human
exsistance: that of Persephone, that of Dante, and that of
contemporary life. At once dark and affirmative, the poems move
from personal observation to personal disclosure, never averting
their gaze from the face they are seeing. Lisa Sewell is the
unusual poet who uses the confessional mode in the service of
reflecting fully, and with fidelity, the moment in which we now
find ourselves. Her bodies, faces, temperaments, resemble our own,
and these poems are a record of what it means to be human and
American in the last years of the twentieth century.

Understanding the current moment in poetry can be a difficult task,
as the reader must sort among the avant-garde and mainstream, the
traditional and the experimental. A welcome introduction to
contemporary poetics, this collection represents one of the first
attempts to chart the progress of a new generation of poets. Each
chapter focuses on one poet, and includes a selection of poems, a
brief statement of purpose by the poet, and a critical essay by a
notable scholar. Working in forms ranging from the
post-confessional lyric to documentary poetics, from the prose poem
and the sonnet to sound poetry, these thirteen poets rank among the
most notable and distinct of recent years. American Poets in the
21st Century will serve as a useful and enlightening guide for any
reader interested in how new American poetry can look, feel, and
sound. The enclosed CD includes each of the thirteen poets reading
their work.
Poets include: Joshua Clover, Stacy Doris, Peter Gizzi, Kenneth
Goldsmith, Myung Mi Kim, Mark Levine, Tracie Morris, Mark Nowak,
D.A. Powell, Juliana Spahr, Karen Volkman, Susan Wheeler, and Kevin
Young.
Eleven More American Women Poets in the 21st Century is an exciting
sequel to its predecessors in the American Poets in the 21st
Century series. Like the earlier anthologies, this volume includes
generous selections of poetry by some of the best poets of our time
as well as illuminating poetics statements and incisive essays on
their work. This unique organization makes these books invaluable
teaching tools. Broadening the lens through which we look at
contemporary poetry, this new volume extends its geographical net
by including Caribbean and Canadian poets. Representing three
generations of women writers, among the insightful pieces included
in this volume are essays by Karla Kelsey on Mary Jo Bang's modes
of artifice, Christine Hume on Carla Harryman's kinds of listening,
Dawn Lundy Martin on M. NourbeSe Phillip (for whom "english / is a
foreign anguish"), and Sina Queyras on Lisa Robertson's
confoundingly beautiful surfaces. A companion web site will present
audio of each poet's work.
