Synopsis:
Of the one hundred and four poets included in The Morrow Anthology of Younger American Poets, more than fifty are making their first appearance in a major anthology. Each has had at least one book published, and all were born since 1940. Never before have the works of such a number of men and women who have so influenced and will continue to influence contemporary American poetry been collected in a single anthology. These younger poets have won an impressive array of awards, including Lamont prizes, Devins awards, Walt Whitman awards, Yale Younger Poet awards--more than thirty such awards, in fact. They represent the finest talents in America, and their work is diverse, rich, and exciting.
