With more than 100,000 copies sold, The New American Poetry has become one of the most influential anthologies published in the United States since World War II. As one of the first counter-cultural collections of American verse, this volume fits in Robert Lowell's famous definition of the raw in American poetry. Many of the contributors once derided in the mainstream press of the period are now part of the postmodern canon: Olson, Duncan, Creeley, Guest, Ashbery, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Levertov, O'Hara, Snyder, Schuyler, and others. Donald Allen's The New American Poetry delivered the first taste of these remarkable poets, and the book has since become an invaluable historical and cultural record, now available again for a new generation of readers.… (más)
Published in 1960, this is considered a classic anthology introducing the poetic movements that began to mature in the 1950s. For me, its value is almost entirely historical, but it admittedly has huge historical value. The copy I have, picked up at a library book sale, is the original with the contents divided into six parts, which I lay out in detail below because it best expresses the scope of the book:
I. Black Mountain poets Charles Olson Robert Duncan Denise Levertov Paul Blackburn Robert Creeley Paul Carroll Larry Eigner Edward Dorn Jonathan Williams Joel Oppenheimer
II. San Francisco Renaissance Helen Adam Brother Antoninus James Broughton Madeline Gleason Lawrence Ferlinghetti Robin Blaser Jack Spicer Lew Welch Richard Duerden Philip Lamantia Bruce Boyd Kirby Doyle Ebby Borregaard
III. Beats Jack Kerouac Allen Ginsberg Gregory Corso Peter Orlovsky
IV. The New York School Barbara Guest James Schuyler Edward Field Kenneth Koch Frank O'Hara John Ashberry
V. A group of young poets difficult to classify Philip Whalen Gilbert Sorrentino Stuart Z. Perkoff Gary Snyder Edward Marshall Michael McClure Ray Bremser LeRoi Jones John Weiners Ron Loewinsohn David Meltzer
VI. Statements on Poetics Charles Olson: Projective Verse and Letter to Elaine Feinstein Robert Duncan: Pages from a notebook Robert Creeley: To Define and Olson & Others: Some Orts for the Sports Denise Levertov Lawrence Ferlinghetti Jack Spicer: Letter to Lorca Jack Kerouac Allen Ginsberg: Notes for Howl and Other Poems James Schuyler: Poet and Painter Overture Frank O'Hara Philip Whalen Gary Snyder Michael McClure: From a Journal LeRoi Jones: "How You Sound??" John Weiners: From a Journal
I can't say I found the poetry in this volume thrilling. I found a couple of poets I might look into further. Most of them I was always familiar with and have never taken a particular liking to, with the exceptions of Levertov and Ferlinghetti. So this book was something of a slog for me, but I did read it all. The selections are generous for some poets: 20 pages for Ginsberg and Duncan, over 30 for Olson and O'Hara. I also found the statements on poetics disappointing.
What I ended up treasuring most in this anthology was the biographical notes in the back. Some of them are the trim statements we've become accustomed to and some are entirely unleashed. Gregory Corso's is two and a half confessional pages. Robert Duncan's is a four page full biography in brief. Peter Orlovsky's contains a good deal of silliness ("I want the moon for fun").
I'm glad to have this anthology on my shelf and would recommend it to anyone with an affection for or curiosity about that period in the history of American poetry. ( )
