Contemporary Poetry

Here in one volume is some of the most ex­citing poetry written during the last thirty years, culled from the pages of one of Amer­ica's foremost literary magazines. The Quar­terly Review of Literature has been among the first to present many significant poets of our time. In addition to publishing the work of new poets, it has made available little-known work of writers of established reputa­tion. It has brought to the reading public both experimental and traditional verse, and foreign poetry in distinguished translations as well as poetry originally written in English. Its pages have been open, in the words of its editors, "to any work that reflects a dedi­cation to ultimately painstaking art." This volume contains the work of 146 foreign and American poets. It is thus not only a remark­able anthology but a valuable retrospective of the literary scene.

Theodore and Renee Weiss, the editors of the Quarterly Review of Literature, have writ­ten of this anthology, "We have a higher hope that much of the work reprinted will convince the reader, as it does us, that what­ever its reliance on its time for style and subject matter, it has escaped the contin­gencies that time and place amount to and has converted its material by passion, gift, and honesty into something more, a lasting accomplishment that deserves our attention now."

Critical Comment on QRL's Poetry Retrospective:

"To get a sense of poetry over the past three decades, readers might well immerse them­selves in the 30th Anniversary Poetry Retro­spective issue, a magazine of consistently high standards that has been sensitively open to new talent. We move in it from poems written in the 1940's by "such masters as Wallace Stevens, E. E. Cummings, and W. C. Williams to those by the latest talented youngsters."

—M. L. Rosenthal, New York Times

"It is thrilling to see this massive book. What a feast to be taken in a little at a time."

— Richard Eberhart

"Absolutely overwhelming! Not only the size, the variety, and the quality, but the way it reflects the whole period of poetry through which we've lived. It's not a volume, it's a document."

—Donald Finkel
