The Pip Anthology Of World Poetry Of The 20th Century

In 1979 Peter Glassgold edited for New Directions a poetry collection from 7 Dutch writers known throughout Europe as The Fiftiers' - poets who, having grown up in the turbulent 1940s, came of age as poetic and visual experimenters in the 50s. This revealing collection has remained an influential testament to this exciting poetry ever since, withstanding newer and larger selections of poetry from the Netherlands. This revised and expanded edition includes a note by Douglas Messerli.'

The 7th volume in Green Integer's ongoing international poetry series.

The first volume in an ongoing series of anthologies to be published one each season.

The Facts On File Companion to World Poetry : 1900 to the Present is a comprehensive introduction to 20th and 21st-century world poets and their most famous, most distinctive, and most influential poems.

This book is a major source for scholars of the latest American poetry. These exciting essays comprise energy and documented discussions on experimentalism, multiculturalism, hyperspace, and gender. Anthologies and little magazines form the matrix for this exploration on conceptual issues surrounding language. The author widens the perspective in which a great deal of writing forced the limits of poetry in this kind of publications. At the same time, he analyzes new contexts and enters into conversation with other sources for inspiration found through other disciplines such as social theory, philosophy, linguistics, and art generated at both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Reflective, taut with alertness, and exploding the postmodern concept of word/object as a liberating experience, this book becomes a driving force to address poetry and challenging political issues with admirable depth.
