Encyclopedia of American Poetry: The Twentieth Century Largest Supplier Online

The Encyclopedia of American Poetry: The Twentieth Centurycontains over 400 entries that treat a broad range of innavidual poets and poems, along with many articles devoted to topics, schools, or periods of American verse in the century. Entries fall into three main categories: poet entries, which provide biographical and cultural contexts for the author’s career; entries on innavidual works, which offer closer explication of the most resonant poems in the 20th-century canon; and topical entries, which offer analyses of a given period of literary production, school, thematically constructed category, or other verse tradition that historically has been in dialogue with the poetry of the United States.
