Synopsis
Anthologizes 25 poets under age 40 from varying backgrounds who are creating a new movement in American poetry: a revival of rhyme, meter, and narrative. Widely reviewed and furiously discussed, Rebel Angels is a landmark volley in the ongoing cultural wars. An important, essential, and lasting volume.
