520    This Companion casts post-1945 American poetry as a 
       coherent literary movement, making the period's most 
       difficult offerings comprehensible and accessible. 
520    "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 post-war and late twentieth-
       century American poetry."--Publisher's website.
