description: This study reflects on and analyzes poetry by four contemporary American poets -- Sylvia Plath, William Heyen, Gerald Stem, and Jerome Rothenberg. Because none of these figures directly experienced the war of annihilation directed at European Jewry, they are denied the survivors' truth; thus their pain and suffering, their personal mandate, tell the story.
