Registering an important shift in the way scholars contextualize modern and contemporary American literature, this Companion explores how American poetry has documented and, at times, helped propel the literary and cultural revolutions of the past sixty-five years. This Companion sheds new light on the Beat, Black Arts and other movements while examining institutions that govern poetic practice in the United States today. The text also introduces seminal figures like Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery and Gwendolyn Brooks while situating them alongside phenomena such as the 'academic poet' and popular forms such as spoken word and rap, revealing the breadth of their shared history. Students, scholars and readers will find this Companion an indispensable guide to post-war and late twentieth-century American poetry. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a811/.509 702 $aAshton$b Jennifer$f1964- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204516603316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to American poetry since 1945$92493427 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
