Encyclopedia of the New York School Poets

The New York School started in the 1950s and was one of the most influential movements of American poetry—from the last half of the 20th century to today. In more than 400 entries, Encyclopedia of the New York School Poets is an encyclopedic A-to-Z reference to writers of the New York School, including John Ashbery, who is often considered America’s greatest living poet. This new book is a compelling examination of this significant movement in literary history and its development through the years.
