Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern American Poets The twentieth century, like the sixteenth, seems to be one of anthologies, and for so small a thing as one more collection of verse, where so many have been before, perhaps no apology is necessary. Explanation, however, is not out of place; and as the present selection from contemporary American verse is by no means the first, it will be as well to be clear about its purpose. That is quite simple. I have not at all attempted, in the following pages, to cover the entire field of contemporary American poetry, as anyone acquainted with the subject will readily perceive. In America, as everywhere, the "one-poem poet" is a common phenomenon, and in the usual anthology he takes an important place. One can, with a little trouble, discover a great many charming poems of this order. But it has seemed to me more interesting, for once, to leave these aside, and to com pile an anthology in which the more important poets alone might figure, and in which they might, therefore, be more generously and identifiably represented. Difficulties at once arise - especially the embarrassing question as to what it is, precisely, that constitutes importance. I can only answer that, though in some cases my attention has at the outset been directed by the esteem in which this or that poet is generally held, in the last analysis the arbiter has been my own personal taste. I find these fourteen living poets interesting; not only for themselves, but also because they suggest, taken together, that American poetry, at the moment, is as vigorous and varied as any.
