From the Inside Flap
From 'Aql to Zwicky, here is the definitive biographical guide to poetry throughout the world in the twentieth century. Over 900 entries by 75 international contributors bring a uniquely global perspective to bear on modern verse, encapsulating the lives and works of a vast array of poets in precise, compact detail. By placing canonical poets alongside sometimes underrepresented ones -- Andre Breton alongside Jacqueline Risset, Adrienne Rich alongside Maurice Kenny -- the volume juxtaposes the already familiar and the newly essential. Written in lively prose, the book includes both biographical data and critical comment. Broad in scope but concise in content, Who's Who in Twentieth-Century World Poetry is a scholarly, informative and hugely enjoyable guide through the diverse arena of modern international poetry.
