Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76695-1 - The Cambridge Companion to American Poetry since 1945 Edited by Jennifer Ashton Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to American Poetry since 1945 The extent to which American poetry reinvented itself after World War II is a testament to the changing social, political, and economic landscape of twentieth- century American life. Registering an important shift in the way scholars contextualize modern and contemporary American literature, this Companion explores how American poetry has documented and, at times, helped propel the literary and cultural revolutions of the past sixty-five years. Offering authoritative and accessible essays from fourteen distinguished scholars, the Companion sheds new light on the Beat, Black Arts, and other movements while examining institutions that govern poetic practice in the United States today. The text also introduces seminal figures like Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery, and Gwendolyn Brooks while situating them alongside phenomena such as the “academic poet” and popular forms such as spoken word and rap, revealing the breadth of their shared history. Students, scholars, and readers will find this Companion an indispensable guide to postwar and late-twentieth-century American poetry. Jennifer Ashton is Associate Professor of English at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she teaches literary theory and the history of poetry. She is author of From Modernism to Postmodernism: American Poetry and Theory in the Twentieth Century and has published articles in Modernism/Modernity, Modern Philology, American Literary History, and Western Humanities Review. A complete list of books in the series is at the back of this book.

POETRYNOW with the POETRY FOUNDATION Broadcast Schedule – Winter 2017 PROGRAM #: PN1627 RELEASE DATE: Monday, December 26
POETRYNOW WITH THE POETRY FOUNDATION Broadcast Schedule – Winter 2017 PROGRAM #: PN1627 RELEASE DATE: Monday, December 26, 2016 John Yau - “Hearsay Song” John Yau meditates on mortality and the remembrance of the dead. John Yau Poet, art critic, and curator John Yau has published over 50 books of poetry, fiction, and art criticism. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1950 to Chinese emigrants, Yau attended Bard College and earned an MFA from Brooklyn College in 1978. His first book of poetry, Crossing Canal Street, was published in 1976. Since then, he has won acclaim for his poetry’s attentiveness to visual culture and linguistic surface. In poems that frequently pun, trope, and play with the English language, Yau offers complicated, sometimes competing versions of the legacy of his dual heritages—as Chinese, American, poet, and artist. A contributor for Contemporary Poets wrote: “Yau’s poems [are] often as much a product of his visual sense of the world, as his awareness of his double heritage from both Oriental and Occidental cultures.” Yau’s many collections of poetry include Corpse and Mirror (1983), selected by John Ashbery for the National Poetry Series, Edificio Sayonara (1992), Forbidden Entries (1996), Borrowed Love Poems (2002), Ing Grish (2005), Paradiso Diaspora (2006), Exhibits (2010), and Further Adventures in Monochrome (2012). Yau’s work frequently explores, and exploits, the boundaries between poetry and prose, and his collections of stories and prose poetry include Hawaiian Cowboys (1994), My Symptoms (1998), and Forbidden Entries (1996). A noted art critic and curator, Yau has also published many works of art criticism and artists’ books.

A volume of his new and selected poems, Sailing Alone Around the Room, will be published this year by Random House. His honors include fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. He has also been awarded the Oscar Blumenthal Prize, the Bess Hokin Prize, the Frederick Bock Prize and the Levinson Prize- all awarded by Poetry magazine. He is a Distinguished Professor of English at Lehman College, City University of New York, where he has taught for the past 30 years.

◆ the national poetry series ◆ Overview ◆ praise for the national poetry series “By enabling five new volumes of poetry to appear annually over the past 35 years, the National Poetry Series has radically changed the face of American poetry. A number of poets who are now among our best-known first appeared there as beginners, and might never have been heard from were it not for the publication opportunity the Series offers. It’s vital to our literary health as a nation that the work continue.” —JOHN ASHBERY “Every beginning poet depends on the word "yes’. It’s a word that isn’t only for the benefit of the writer, it is also for the reader, hungry for discovery, for the publisher, itching to be persuaded, and the loud, wide and deep sound we call the voice of American Poetry, waiting to add one more layer of affirmation to it’s shifting, never ending chorus. This is the work The National Poetry Series has been doing, and doing well, and needs to continue doing. Listen: There is always a new voice, wringing out what it’s picked up along the way, plumage out, just about to warble. You want to know what they know, yes?” —CORNELIUS EADY “The National Poetry Series is one of the rare prizes that automatically confers distinction. Not only that: it confers distinction on five poets each year, making it the only important prize that acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of our culture. Each year it allows the publication of five poets of unusual talent and, as has been proven, infinite potential.
