Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Vintage Book of African American Poetry, editors Michael S. Harper and Anthony Walton present the definitive collection of black verse in the United States--200 years of vision, struggle, power, beauty, and triumph from 52 outstanding poets. From the neoclassical stylings of slave-born Phillis Wheatley to the wistful lyricism of Paul Lawrence Dunbar . . . the rigorous wisdom of Gwendolyn Brooks...the chiseled modernism of Robert Hayden...the extraordinary prosody of Sterling A. Brown...the breathtaking, expansive narratives of Rita Dove...the plaintive rhapsodies of an imprisoned Elderidge Knight . . . The postmodern artistry of Yusef Komunyaka. Here, too, is a landmark exploration of lesser-known artists whose efforts birthed the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts movements--and changed forever our national literature and the course of America itself. Meticulously researched, thoughtfully structured, The Vintage Book of African-American Poetry is a collection of inestimable value to students, educators, and all those interested in the ever-evolving tradition that is American poetry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golden Leaves From the American Poets I may be permitted to add, without incurring the charge of undue egotism, I trust, that the prepara tion of this work has been to me literally a labour of love. It seemed to me a fitting tribute to render to those Poets whose works had entered so largely into my professional studies for the last thirty years, and between whom and the mere cur sory reader, and those ofa yet immature age, I had endeavoured faithfully to act as an interpreter, that I should, in the probably closing effort Of my literary career, present a worthy monument record ing the Genius of American Poesy, acceptable to the reading Public, and one that should do honour to the Poets I have selected for representation; and to these Gifted Men and Women I most re spectfully dedicate these my humble labours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Best American Poems This grouping of American poems had its rise in the welcome accorded to a little volume entitled The Hundred Best English Poems, issued by the same publishers. To select one hundred examples from the best work by our American poets, excluding all living authors, and avoiding an undue proportion of pieces by the few acknowledged to be preeminent, has been a puzzling although a pleasant task. Of course, no two editors would select the same hundred pieces from the sixty-four poets here represented. Any one familiar with our poeti cal literature will miss here certain favorites, and perhaps would criticize some of the selec tions. This is inevitable.

Download or read book Seven Great American Poets Classic Reprint written by Beatrice Hart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Great American Poets There is a well-founded conviction among educators that students should be acquainted not only with the best American literature but with the lives of its authors, to the end that they may realize that the great writers experienced joys and suffered hardships in common with their fellowmen; in short, that we should aim to sound a more human note in the study of literature. Unfortunately this work is postponed until the student reaches the more advanced grades, usually the High School. Since but a small proportion of pupils attend the High School, it would seem advisable to begin the work much earlier in the school course. Biography and autobiography are being generally recognized as the form of literature that is the most interesting and stimulating in the education of youth. If "an autobiography is what a biography ought to be," then no biography is of value that is not largely autobiographical. It should not only tell the life story as others knew it, but it should tell, also, as much as may be, what the author himself thought of that life. It should be both objective and subjective. This, then, is the plan adopted in these biographical sketches: to tell briefly and simply the life story of each author, with the hope that an interest will be awakened in his works through the interest in his life.

Download or read book The Younger American Poets Classic Reprint written by Jessie Belle Rittenhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Younger American Poets To attempt, in one volume, to cover the entire field of present-day poetry in America, will be recognized the more readily as impossible when one reflects that in Mr. Stedman's American Anthology over five hundred poets are represented, of whom the greater number are still living and singing. One may scarcely hope, then, in the space of one volume, to include more than a representative group, even when confining his study to the work of the younger poets, for within this class would fall the larger contingent named above. It has therefore been necessary to follow a general, though not arbitrary, standard of chronology, of which the most feasible seemed that adopted by Mr. Archer in his admirable study of the English "Poets of the Younger Generation," - the including only of such as have been born within the last half-century, and whose place is still in the making.

This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1921 and Year Book of American Poetry To get at the character of an American Poetry then, we must understand these forces which have been at work upon our national experiences. It is interesting in light of what I have said to quote this passage from a letter which I received from an interested reader of these anthologies. In the 1920 Anthology, it runs, you speak of we Americans as being without a 'tap root' in literature. I know we are young, yet it seems to me that if the real hundred per-cent American writers were encouraged the 'root' would respond by a greater depth of growth and in time we would have an American literature, and I am going to suggest that you in the 1921 Anthology select writers as nearly American as possible in name and in harmony with our country - make this issue American in every way descendents of the New England and New York and Pennsylvania and Virginia settlers.
