Postmodern American poetry : a Norton anthology

Summary: This anthology generated great interest on its publication in 1994, bringing together experimental poets and movements from 1950 to the present in one groundbreaking volume. Now, two decades later, Paul Hoover has revised and updated it for twenty-first century readers. His revised introduction argues that new technologies have given postmodern poets a fresh field of play for longstanding practices such as "harvesting" and playing with "found text." The updated contents feature 114 poets, 583 poems, and selections from 19 poetics essays. Representing the full historical sweep--from the Beat movement, the New York School, and the language movements to 21st-century developments like cyberpoetry and Flarf, this anthology makes "the avant-garde accessible" (Chicago Tribune) for a new generation of readers.--From publisher description.
