Other Legacies: Great Unsung American Poets brings together 35 extraordinary but under-recognized poets whose work has shaped and enriched the literary landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries, writers whose contributions were overlooked because of race, gender, sexuality, disability, region, language, resistance to prevailing literary norms, or plain bad luck. Selected and introduced by a vibrant community of contemporary poets and critics, these writers appear chronologically, allowing readers to trace an alternate, deeply pluralistic history of American poetry. With links to an interactive digital timeline, this anthology is an invaluable resource for classrooms, scholars, and readers seeking a more inclusive sense of American poetic lineage.
