Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American Poetry: An Introduction Many, though not all of the poets that have succeeded Whitman have found a fresh, living and vigorous poetry in a world of honest and sometimes harsh reality. They respond to the spirit of their times. The singer to-day writes about things unknown to the poet of yesterday. Not only has his View been changed, his vision has wid ened. He can employ any incident, any subject, instead of being restricted to legendary, classical or traditionally poetic themes. In learning to distinguish real beauty from mere prettiness, he is expressing the deepest aspects of life and, in so doing, he is recording not, as has been charged, more truth than poetry but more truth and poetry.

Book Synopsis The Little Book of Modern Verse by : Jessie Belle Rittenhouse
Download or read book The Little Book of Modern Verse written by Jessie Belle Rittenhouse and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Book of Modern Verse: A Selection From the Work of Contemporaneous American Poets "The Little Book of Modern Verse," as its name implies, is not a formal anthology. The pageant of American poetry has been so often presented that no necessity exists for another exhaustive review of the art. Nearly all anthologies, however, stop short of the present group of poets, or represent them so inadequately that only those in close touch with the trend of American literature know what the poet of to-day is contributing to it. It is strictly, then, as a reflection of our own period, to show what is being done by the successors of our earlier poets, what new interpretation they are giving to life, what new beauty they have apprehended, what new art they have evolved, that this little book has taken form. A few of the poets included have been writing for a quarter of a century, and were, therefore, among the immediate successors of the New England group, but many have done their work within the past decade and the volume as a whole represents the twentieth-century spirit. From the scheme of the book, that of a small, intimate collection, representative rather than exhaustive, it has been impossible to include all of the poets who would naturally be included in a more ambitious anthology. In certain instances, also, matters of copyright have deterred me from including those whom I had originally intended to represent, but with isolated exceptions the little book covers the work of our later poets and gives a hint of what they are doing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masque of Poets: A Collection of New Poems by Contemporary American Poets But I think that America today reflects very much the same spirit of adventurous seeking that England knew more than three centuries ago, and that this spirit will not find its happiest fulfilment till it becomes less personal in its consciousness of a public, and more disinterested in its practice as an art. That the American poets who have contributed to "The Masque of Poets" are disinterested, is proven by their desire to remain anonymous when these poems were first published. Elizabethan poets sang out of pure joy and good fellowship, and the finest American achievement of the last decade has been born of similar joy and good fellowship. I should like to see American poetry published anonymously in such anthologies as this and left for judgment to the public irrespective of authors' signatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tendencies in Modern American Poetry I wish I had space to consider all the men and women whose work has aided to make this movement Vigorous and important. But that must be left to future literary historians. Still, it is with regret that I pass by the work Of Mr. Louis Untermeyer and Mr. James Oppenheim, of Mr. Ezra Pound and Mr. Vachel Lindsay, of Mr. William Rose Benet and Mrs. Eunice Tietjens, and others as well, but the main tendencies of which they are a part have been considered under other names. It is true that at a first glance Mr. Lindsay does not seem to fall very readily into any Of these groups, but I think a closer attention will find him to be rather popularizing the second stage of the movement than heading a completely new tendency of his own. As to those poets who still cling to an Older order, of course, in such a volume as this, their work can find no place however excellent it may be in itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Gallery of Famous English and American Poets IN the following pages we offer to our readers a col lection of beautiful passages from the English Poets. They are arranged in chronological order, and embody that technically modern period, from Thomson to our own time: we have included, also, with the renowned masters of English verse, a few of our own American poets, eminently worthy to appear in such a catalogue. Such a collection would, in itself, give value to this volume, but, to enhance its merits in an eminent degree, exquisite art has been brought into the service, in a manner as striking and beautiful as it is novel. In this respect, the work, it is thought, has no superior, if it even have a, rival. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Younger American Poets To attempt, in one volume, to cover the entire field of present-day poetry in America, will be recognized the more readily as impossible when one reflects that in Mr. Stedman's American Anthology over five hundred poets are represented, of whom the greater number are still living and singing. One may scarcely hope, then, in the space of one volume, to include more than a representative group, even when confining his study to the work of the younger poets, for within this class would fall the larger contingent named above. It has therefore been necessary to follow a general, though not arbitrary, standard of chronology, of which the most feasible seemed that adopted by Mr. Archer in his admirable study of the English "Poets of the Younger Generation," - the including only of such as have been born within the last half-century, and whose place is still in the making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1917: And Yearbook of American Poetry The influence of this kind of criticism can do more harm to American poetry at present than any other influence whatever. The harm it does is by misrepresenting the art. If the public heedssuch criticism, audiences will diminish, and the consequent discouragement of the poets them selves will produce a decline in creativeness. It must be realised that no poet of to - day works and starves in obscurity till chance or influence brings a patron to reward him with fame and a compe tence, as was true in the past; fame and fortune for the modern poet are the gifts of public recog nition and appreciation, and if these do not come before youth advances to that vague borderland where it is lost, the modern poet gives the best of himself to other things. That poets have made money during the past few years is no proof that poetry to-day is less an art than a profession, but under the dispensation of modern democracy it does prove that poetry must make good business to flourish as an art.

Download or read book Modern Verse written by Anita P. Forbes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Verse: British and American In looking over the anthologies of poetry on the shelves of any well-equipped public library, one thinks of the rats that followed the Pied Piper. There are war poems, love poems, sad poems, funny poems, old poems, new poems, child poems, college poems, poems of the city, poems of the country - anthologies by tens and dozens. In the latest additions to these we take particular pride, for they represent the verse of our own age. Modern poetry is worth being proud of for at least two reasons. First, it appeals to many different types of people. Whether one is looking for poems that are heroic, fanciful, humorous, or thoughtful - poems on any subject from the steel industry to the immortality of the soul - poems of the loftiest imagination or the tenderest human interest - he will find his desires gratified. In no other period of English literature has poetry been so varied, so like an elaborate prism which flashes new beauty to each eye. For never before has it refracted the light of so many and such different personalities. It has been said that every one can write at least one good poem; and nowadays he can usually get it published. The name of our young poets is Legion. Moreover, many of our poets, even the best-known ones, have wide interests besides their poetry. They may be newpaper men, lawyers, college professors, army officers, social workers. The great emotional stimulus of the war drove vigorous, practical men and women of all ages and occupations to the discovery that poetry might be a solace and joy not only to the student or visionary, but to the average person.

American poets, we read, are giving us more good poetry to-day than has ever been produced in any other period of our history. Poetry, the first of American poetry magazines, has flourished since 1912. And now it has rivals in The Lyric and Contemporary Verse.

This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continuity of American Poetry I shall deal in turn with expressions (and with repressions too) of that twin impulse up to our own times, when it has been followed out to its bitterest and fullest implications (by Wallace Stevens) and when it has been subjected to a mythic, orthodox religious transformation, whereby, as it is shown to be merely human, it becomes the means of demonstrating its own inadequacy (by T. S. Eliot). The narrative, as I shall indicate in the Afterword, properly closes with Stevens and Eliot. The one stakes all on the radical sufficiency of humanism; the other, on its radical insufficiency. For the one, freedom, as it is manifested in poetry, guarantees us all the community we can desire; for the other, community, likewise as it is manifested in poetry, guarantees us all the freedom we can bear. In the later work of Stevens and Eliot, the impulse, no longer taken for granted, is conceived of as fixing a set of either/or alternatives at the extreme, man as against God. It might well be that the alterna tiyes are false. Any case, the 1mpulse - wh1ch is to find a place for poetry iii - the life of modern man now, In our owir time, there is se new modes of reconciliation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tree With a Bird in It: A Symposium of Contemporary American Poets on Being Shown a Pear-Tree on Which Sat a Grackle A little while since, I had the fortune to live in a house, outside of whose windows there grew a pear-tree. On the branches of this tree lived a green bird of indeterminate nature. I do not know what his real name was, but the name, to quote our great exemplar Lewis Carroll, by which his name was called was the Crackle. He seemed perfectly willing to be addressed thus, and accordingly was. Aside from watching the Pear-Tree and the Grackle, my other principal occupation that winter was watching the Poetry Society of America now and then at its monthly meetings. It occurred to me finally to invite such members of it as cared to come, following many good examples, to an outdoor symposium under the tree. The result follows.
