The New American Poetry, 1945-1960
"Donald Allen's anthology, modestly assembled in 1959 to give readers a new sense of directions in American poetry, has turned out to be a wholly prophetic volume.  Today, forty years later, it remains THE great anthology of avante-garde poetry, the book that determined the direction poetry would take in the second half of the century!" --Marjorie PerloffI Love My Loveby Helen Douglas AdamA Boyby John AshberyHow Much Longer Will I Be Able To Inhabit The Divine Sepulcherby John AshberyThe Instruction Manualby John AshberyFor Hettieby Amiri BarakaIn Memory Of Radioby Amiri BarakaOne Night Standby Amiri BarakaOstriches And Grandmothersby Amiri BarakaTo A Publisher - Cut-outby Amiri BarakaThe Turncoatby Amiri BarakaWay Out West;
