The Body Electric: America's Best Poetry from the American Poetry Review

by Stephen Berg

The Body Electric: America's Best Poetry from the American Poetry Review Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A breathtaking, incomparable overview of American poetry at the turn of the millennium, from experimental language poetry to traditional formal verse, with all the vital, monumental stops between, The Body Electric captures the spirit of contemporary American poetry. Among the 180 poets included in this collection are Ai, John Ashbery, John Berryman, Charles Bukowski, Lucille Clifton, Carolyn Forche, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hass, Seamus Heaney, Kenneth Koch, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Derek Walcott, plus a generous array of exciting new poets from recent years. The breadth and innovation of American poetry as well as the shifting styles and tastes of over a quarter of a century are represented in this volume. No other anthology gives such a complete and wide-ranging representation of American poetry today.

Synopsis:

"The very existence of this book is news, and its contents are exquisite literature."--Philadelphia Inquirer
