American Poets of the 20th Century - Softcover

This literary companion carries you into the lives and poetic lines of 41 of America's most admired poets from the last century.

Eliot and Ezra Pound, this handbook also introduces you to living poets, such as Rita Dove, who are still inscribing their places in literary history.
