of
AMERICAN POETRY
Edited, with an Introduction
by
OSCAR WILLIAMS
Compact, yet richly complete, this collection embraces the
whole American poetic achievement-from Colonial times to
the present day. The chronological arrangement of the mater–
ial-which includes more than five hundred poems-and the
informative critical Introduction give the reader a con'cise his–
tory of American poetry-ending up with a 100-page section
called "The Forties" which contains the work of the important
younger poets of the present.
A few of the longer poems represented in full:
"Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman
"The Bridge" by Hart Crane
"The Man with the Blue Guitar" by Wallace Stevens
"Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" by Ezra Pound
"The Waste Land" by T. S. Eliot
Uniform in format with previous Little Treasury vol–
umes. With 67 portraits of the poets. Fully indexed,
double buckram binding, gilt top, reading ribbon.
