Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness

by Carolyn Forche

Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This landmark anthology takes its impulse from the words of Bertolt Brecht: "In the dark times, will there be singing? /Yes, there will be singing./About the dark times". Bearing witness to extremity--whether of war, torture, exile, or repression--this volume encompasses more than 140 poets from five continents, a chorus of voices from dark times, giving testimony to the poetic imagination seared by the fire of human suffering.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [763]-783) and index.
