Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st printing. 168pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "'Poetry today,' Stanley Kunitz once remarked, 'has become easier to write but harder to remember.' As many poets have abandoned the traditional structures of verse, freedom has been gained but much else has been lost. Contemporary poetry began to seem the possession of those who wrote it rather than those who read it. [] THE DIRECTION OF POETRY is a showcase of verse written since 1975 by poets of several nations and of all ages, poems that flourish in traditional forms, handled by poets who are dedicated to the sort of poetry we can remember. The good news is that rhyme and meter are back. This anthology proves it by sampling the work of sixty-seven poets, many of them young, from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, and the West Indies. It relishes the delight of regularity and points to a new direction. Most important of all, it will give enormous pleasure to the reader who has of late been encouraged to forget that poetry is something to be enjoyed. [] As Robert Richman says in his editor's note: 'This anthology contains the work of poets sharing a similar aesthetic perspective. It does not intend to be entirely representative of the times. It celebrates the work of a particular group of poets--the most important group to have emerged in the last fifteen years.' [] Howard Nemerov, poet laureate of the United States, says, 'I feel honored to be in such good company,' and May Swenson writes, 'It is a good deed to publish such an anthology, signaling the swing away from minimalism and other fads--fads that amount to anti-poetry. Just what we need now.'" [jacket copy] The 76 poets include Heaney, Hecht, Bishop, Merrill, Moss, Salter, Hollander, Muldoon, Warren, Pinsky, Davison & Wilbur, lots more. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact As New jacket. Seller Inventory # RUB2878
