Features: This poetry anthology is carefully selected from over a thousand poems translated by the editor over eight years. It includes the works of nearly two hundred poets from the United States since the 1940s, divided into two volumes. This volume features most of the experimental poets born after 1945, with only a few exceptions intentionally included—those whose lasting influence makes their "historical significance" less than their "contemporary relevance," serving as markers, bridges, and beacons. It includes second and third-generation New York School poets, California Zen surrealism, performance poetry, the "New Wave" group, feminist poetry, and the "Language" poetry movement, among others. These works have been rarely introduced in China so far.
