A Movement of Minds

The poetry of the United States written late in the nineteenth century is generally thought to constitute a dull stretch that was in dire need of the Modernist Revolution associated with Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and William Carlos Williams.

Written off as ‘The Genteel Tradition’, the poems of such writers as Edwin Arlington Robinson, Stephen Crane, Ernest Lacy, Vachel Lindsay and Adelaide Crapsey have been critically ignored.

This anthology gathers poems that present an alternative understanding of the poetry of the time. Not only are there poems here that deserve to be known, read, and remembered, but they also point the way towards a kind of contemporary poem unlike those that are now considered typical or mainstream.

For lovers of poetry, A Movement of Minds contains many delights and surprises.
