Beginning with the Colonial Wars of the eighteenth-century and ending with the Gulf Wars, this original and significant anthology presents four centuries of American men and women - soldiers, nurses, reporters, and embattled civilians - writing about war. American War Poetry opens with a ballad by a freed African American slave, commenting on a skirmish with Indians in a Massachusetts meadow. Poems on the American Revolution follow, as well as poems on minor conflicts like the Mexican War and the Spanish-American Wars. This compact anthology has generous selections on the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnamese-American War, but it also includes an unusually large offering on American participation in the Spanish Civil War. Another section covers four hundred years of conflict with Native Americans, ending with poems by contemporary Indians who respond passionately and directly to their difficult history. The collection also reaches into current reaction to American involvement in Latin America, Bosnia, and the Gulf Wars. Showing the depth of feeling and the range of thinking with which Americans have confronted war, American War Poetry expands our sense of what poetry is made to do. While the birth of a national identity is documented in early poems, the anthology also conveys the growing sophistication of a uniquely American style. Although early war poems show that the first justification for war was purely defensive, as American global ambitions matured, American writers moved increasingly to deplore a homegrown imperialism and its terrible costs. While many familiar poems of patriotic ardor have been chosen, other poems show a steady interest in antiwar themes. Lorrie Goldensohn provides a brief biography for each poet and places each poem in its proper literary and historical context. Comprehensive and compelling, American War Poetry not only documents the birth and development of a national style of expression but shows the force of poetry working on the historical moment, making it come vitally alive.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=614387 This comprehensive anthology offers a broad and representative introduction to some of the most original new voices on the contemporary poetry landscape by gathering generous selections from the work of eighty-five younger American poets. These poets were born after 1960, did not publish a first book before 1995, and have no more than three books published. While these poets are extraordinarily diverse in their aesthetic sensibilities and approaches to craft, they are all distinguished by their inimitable voices, their virtuosity, their willingness to take meaningful risks in terms of form and content, an intellectual depth, an emotional honesty, and an ability to take the readers breath away.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=655922 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=641063 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=584931 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=692057 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=634941 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=634991 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=685368 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=609801 For over two centuries, black poets have created verse that reflects the sorrows, joys, and triumphs of the African-American experience. Reflecting their variety of visions and styles, The Oxford Anthology of African-American Poetry aims to offer nothing less than a definitive literary portrait of a people. Here are poems by writers as different as Paul Laurence Dunbar and W. E. B. Du Bois; Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes; Gwendolyn Brooks and Amiri Barakia; Rita Dove and Harryette Mullen; Yusef Komunyakaa and Nathaniel Mackey. Acclaimed as a biographer and editor, Arnold Rampersad groups these poems as meditations on key issues in black culture, including the idea of Africa; the South; slavery; protest, and resistance; the black man, woman, and child; sexuality and love; music and religion; spirituality; death, and transcendence. With their often starkly contrasting visions and styles, these poets illuminate some of the more controversial and intimate aspects of the black American experience. Poetry here is not only or mainly a vehicle of protest but also an exploration of the more complex and tender subtleties of black culture. One section offers tributes to celebrated leaders such as Sojourner Truth and Malcolm X, but many more reflect the heroism compelled by everyday black life. The variety of poetic forms and language captures the brilliant essence of English as mastered by black Americans dedicated to the art of poetry.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620361 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=687920 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=627110 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=627108 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620415 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=555513 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=594846 Ralph Franklin, the foremost scholar of Dickinsons manuscripts, has prepared an authoritative one-volume edition of all extant poems by Emily Dickinson - 1,789 poems in all, the largest number ever assembled.

Each of these poets has worked the territory of the haiku into a personal landscape, and they offer a panorama of images and sounds, joy and sadness, recollection and thought. The Unswept Path is an introduction to the art of the haiku for the writer and reader alike.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=636116 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=604814 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=609480 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=609490 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1432144 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620365 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=594836 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=583330 This collection brings together the most memorable and enduring work inspired by the American Civil War: the masterpieces of Whitman and Melville, Sidney Lanier on the death of Stonewall Jackson, the anti-slavery poems of Longfellow and Whittier, the frontline narratives of Henry Howard Brownell and John W. De Forest, the anthems of Julia Ward Howe and James Ryder Randall.
