A Companion to American Poetry

"This impressive Companion to American Poetry presents cutting-edge work by distinguished senior scholars and exciting emerging ones. Collectively, its thematically organized essays—on topics ranging from transnationalism to Trans poetry, from African American spirituals to rethinking the Anthropocene—brilliantly display poetry’s intellectual depth, formal variety, emotional power, and diverse social engagements."
