At a time when most commentators fixate on American poetry's supposed 'death', Kevin Stein's ""Poetry's Afterlife"" instead proposes the vitality of its aesthetic hereafter. The essays of ""Poetry's Afterlife"" blend memoir, scholarship, and personal essay to survey the current poetry scene, trace how we arrived here, and suggest where poetry is headed in our increasingly digital culture. The result is a book both fetchingly insightful and accessible. Poetry's spirited afterlife has come despite, or perhaps because of, two decades of commentary diagnosing American poetry as moribund if not already deceased. With his 2003 appointment as Illinois Poet Laureate and his forays into public libraries and schools, Stein has discovered that poetry has not given up its literary ghost. For a fated art supposedly pushing up aesthetic daisies, poetry these days is up and about in the streets, schools, universities, and online in new and compelling digital forms. It's this second life, or better, ""Poetry's Afterlife"", that his book examines and celebrates. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM$2bisac 606 $aPoetry$2bisac 606 $aAmerican poetry$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPoetry$xAppreciation$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPoetry$xAppreciation$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th Century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aAmerican Literature$2HILCC 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM 615 7$aPoetry 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPoetry$xAppreciation$xHistory 615 0$aPoetry$xAppreciation$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aAmerican Literature 676 $a811.509 700 $aStein$b Kevin$0801208 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141011803321 996 $aPoetry's afterlife$91908087 997 $aUNINA
