This Concise Companion offers readers a comprehensive and rewarding view of twentieth-century American poetry. It traces its connections with the broad intellectual and social context of the age and makes evident how profoundly poetic ideas have informed the times. Written by esteemed specialists in their fields, the authors draw particular attention to key poems told against important historical, political, and theoretical backgrounds. And exploring these moments from different angles and geographies not only allows readers to experience the shifting forces that have shaped our modern poetry landscape, but also reflect upon global trends with engaging simplicity and accessibility. What is to be said about a time so often treated as an exhibitionist's nightmare? To write poetry or face public scrutiny of any kind is no small feat, and yet, through multiple literary devices -- meticulously textual analysis, weaving of confrontational points of view, invitations to reflection -- the authors here shed light on just how rigorously our twentieth- century poets strive to stay ahead of time and continually challenge our perceptions. No part of this century should go unexamined when having poetry at its core.
