Description

The New York Poets: An Anthology by Mark Ford brings together the work of four influential poets who revolutionized American poetry in the 1950s. Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler were at the forefront of a creative movement that transformed the art scene in New York City. Their poetry is characterized by its irreverent wit and daring experimentation with language and form. This anthology provides an essential introduction to their work, which has had a profound impact on poetry around the world. With detailed background information and a substantial bibliography, this collection offers a comprehensive understanding of these four poets and their contributions to American literature. A valuable resource for anyone interested in modern poetry, The New York Poets: An Anthology is a must-have for its insight into the lives and work of these four visionary poets.
