Title: The contemporary American poets
Subtitle: American poetry since 1940
Description: This is a collection of poems  by many  American poets, from 1940  to late 1960s. 
The poems therefore have a broad range, both in terms of content and style.  Many of the poems are reflective, and introspective, whether it is about the self, or personal relationships,  or about society at large.  In many poems, the poets draw upon nature as an inspiration and metaphor for describing the emotions and  feelings that  are such an integral part  of human life and relationships.
