Description:
A selection of poems by Harriet Monroe, the visionary founding editor of Poetry magazine. While her work as an editor had a profound effect on the development of American poetry in the 20th century, this book seeks to showcase Monroe's work as a pioneering poet in her own right. Selected by students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under the supervision of Professor Kevin McMullen, these poems, along with an extensive critical introduction and explanatory notes, establish Monroe's place as an important and overlooked Modernist poet.
Review Quotes:
"This judiciously selected edition of Harriet Monroe's poetry--some treasures never before published--helps readers to recognize the magisterial editor of Poetry magazine as a talented poet among others she brought to the attention of the English-speaking world."--Adrienne Munich, coeditor of Selected Poems of Amy Lowell
