Riassunto

This unique interdisciplinary work is the first book to bring systematically gathered and analyzed data to bear on the question of how contemporary poetry reaches the American public. It explores the publishing patterns, experiences, methods, motivations, and rewards of 203 living American poets from 1950 through 1980. Among the many well-known poets who participated in the study are John Ashbery, William Stafford, Maxine Kumin, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Philip Levine, Carolyn Forche, Marilyn Hacker, and May Swenson.
