Summary	"In the years between the beginning of the twentieth century and the end of World War II, American poetry was transformed, producing a body of work whose influence was felt throughout the world. This first volume of the set, organized chronologically by the poets birthdates, takes the reader from Henry Adams (18381918) to Dorothy Parker (18931967), and in the process reveals the unfolding of a true poetic renaissance. Included are generous selections from some of the centurys greatest poets: Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H.D., Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot. Here they are seen as part of an age that proposed new and often contentious definitions of what American poetry could be and fresh perceptions of a society undergoing rapid and often tumultuous change. The multifarious aesthetic influences brought to bearChinese and Japanese poetry, the African-American sermon, the artistic revolutions of Cubism and Dada, the cadences of jazz, the brash urgencies of vernacular speechresulted in a poetic culture of dynamic energy and startling contrasts.
