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.

A VERY SERIOUS SURVEY OF AMERICA'S NEW POETIC LANDSCAPE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Morrow Anthology of Younger American Poets (Paperback)
Hard to believe no one has reviewed this yet. For those seriously interested in the poetry scene in this country, the Morrow Anthology is essential. Some of the poets--Rita Dove, Tess Gallagher, Jon Anderson, Stephen Dobyns, Carolyn Forche, etc--have gone on to bright careers, while others have faded in the decade or more since the anthology was first published. But what a monumental task Dave Smith and David Bottoms---excellent poets themselves---took on by putting together this book. Incredible book, hands down.

Picks up where the Longman Anthology leaves off,
By
This review is from: Morrow Anthology of Younger American Poets (Paperback)
This is by far the best collection of late 20th century American poetry, and for that it was published in 1985, leaving 15 years uncaptured. Just to pick one author, here you find Jonathan Holden before he wrote the work that went into Then Name of the Rapids. It's only a shame that there aren't anthologies to pick up where this ones leaves off chronologically.

Gringo poetry of the late 20th century,
By
This review is from: Morrow Anthology of Younger American Poets (Paperback)
There are some good poems in here, but the predominant flavor is one of "gringo poets of the USA." One could read this anthology and seriously come away wondering where all the Hispanic, Black, Indigenous, or Gay poets were in the 70's and 80's. And it does not even attempt to connect with the more vibrant experimental poetries of the late 70's and early 80's.
