Poems for the Millennium, Volume Two by Jerome Rothenberg
Intends to bring together the poets and poetry movements that radically altered the ways that art and language express the human condition. This work offers a chronicle of the second 'great awakening' of experimental poetry in the twentieth century. It provides informative and irreverent commentaries throughout.
"Presenting an astonishing amount of exciting poetry—as did Volume I: From Fin-de-Siècle to Negritude—this collection freely crosses national and aesthetic boundaries. . . As an introduction to the many avant-gardes of the second half of the century, and a revision of current thinking about canonization—the 'what's in' and 'what's out' of mainstream anthologies—the value of this international gatecrasher cannot be underestimated." * Publishers Weekly *
"A massive anthology of avant-garde, experimental, non-traditional, ground-breaking, envelope-pushing poetry and poetic prose that covers the whole waterfront of post-Victorian writing." * Los Angeles Weekly *
"A radical new interpretation of twentieth-century poetry's movement and movements." * Booklist *
