{"product_id":"american-hybrid-cole-swensen-9780393333756","title":"American Hybrid: A Norton Anthology of New Poetry","description":"As Cole Swensen argues in the introduction to this comprehensive new anthology, the long-acknowledged \"fundamental division\" between experimental and traditional is disappearing in American poetry in favor of hybrid approaches that blend trends from accessible lyricism to linguistic exploration. The focus in American Hybrid is on the blend; the more than seventy poets featured here--including Jorie Graham, Albert Goldbarth, and Lyn Hejinian--have found new and often unique ways to reconfigure the innumerable and sometimes conflicting voices of the past thirty years. The editors have crafted short introductory essays on each of the poets in the anthology, providing biographical backgrounds and positioning them within the current of contemporary poetry. This new anthology is essential reading for those who care about the present moment--and the future--of American verse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cole Swensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393333752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393333756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Countryman Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.50w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2008 pg. 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/19\/2009 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2009 pg. 95","brand":"Cole Swensen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996747235583,"sku":"9780393333756","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86dc9038-549d-466d-9cb5-cb13945cbff3.jpg?v=1683343458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-hybrid-cole-swensen-9780393333756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
