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=692037 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=641063 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620361 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=627108 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=649064 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=685368 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=634991 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=687920 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=634941 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=692057 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=670335 American War Poetry spans the history of the nation. 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=604814 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620415 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=609490 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=609480 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1432144 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=636116 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=594836 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=620365 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.

S. Eliot, Lewis Carrol, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=415374 This volume is the first anthology of poetic writings on slavery from America, Britain, and around the Atlantic during the Enlightenment - the crucial period that saw the height of the slave trade but also the origins of the anti-slavery movement. Bringing together more than four hundred poems and excerpts from longer works that were written by more than two hundred and fifty poets, both famous and unknown, the book charts the emergence of slavery as part of the collective consciousness of the English-speaking world. The book includes: poems by forty women, ranging from abolitionists Hannah More and Mary Robinson to Frances Seymour, the Countess of Herford; works by more than twenty African or African American poets, including familiar names (Phillis Wheatley), intriguing figures (Afro-Dutch Latin scholar Johannes Capitein), and newly rediscovered black poets (an anonymous veteran of the Revolutionary War); and poetry by such canonical writers as Dryden, Defoe, Pope, Johnson, Blake, Boswell, Burns, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. The poems speak of the themes of slavery: capture, torture, endurance, rebellion, thwarted romances, and spiritual longing. They also raise intriguing questions about the contradications between cultural attitudes and public policy of the time. Writers such as these, suggests editor James Basker, were not complicit in the imperial project or indifferent about slavery but actually laid the groundwork for the political changes that would follow.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=415381 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=456761 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=538746 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=375573 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=382182 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved literature, especially poetry.
