Steven Gould Axelrod, Camille Roman, and Thomas Travisano continue
the standard of excellence set in Volumes I and II of this
extraordinary anthology. Volume III provides the most compelling
and wide-ranging selection available of American poetry from 1950
to the present. Its contents are just as diverse and multifaceted
as America itself and invite readers to explore the world of poetry
in the larger historical context of American culture.Nearly three
hundred poems allow readers to explore canonical works by such
poets as Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, and Sylvia Plath, as well
as song lyrics from such popular musicians as Bob Dylan and Queen
Latifah. Because contemporary American culture transcends the
borders of the continental United States, the anthology also
includes numerous transnational poets, from Julia de Burgos to
Derek Walcott. Whether they are the works of oblique avant-gardists
like John Ashbery or direct, populist poets like Allen Ginsberg,
all of the selections are accompanied by extensive introductions
and footnotes, making the great poetry of the period fully
accessible to readers for the first time.
