Description

Written by a leading critic, this invigorating introduction to modernist American poetry conveys the excitement that can be generated by a careful reading of modernist poems. * Encourages readers to identify with the modernists' sense of the revolutionary possibilities of their art. * Embraces four generations of modernist American poets up through to the 1980s. * Gives readers a sense of the ambitions, the disillusionments and the continuities of modernist poetry. * Includes close readings of particular poems which show how readers can use these works to connect with what concerns them.
