The Oxford Handbook of Modern and Contemporary American Poetry cover

The Oxford Handbook of Modern and Contemporary American Poetry provides a comprehensive approach to the debates that have defined the study of American verse of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Topics include: the influence of jazz on beat poetry; surrealist influences on American verse; disability poetics; Asian American poetry; and more.

Assembling though-provoking essays that encompass a vast range of poetry and poetics, The Oxford Handbook succeeds admirably at offering readers some of the best current approaches tp reading modern and contemporary American poetry ... It is hard to envision a volume that would better take account of the present state of criticism and scholarship of American poetry. * Stephen Fredman, Modern Language Review *
