This book examines the poetics of the 20th-century American West depicted by Edward Dorn through the influence and inspiration of his Black Mountain College mentor and fellow poet Charles Olson. It considers some of the most important and challenging poetic representations of the 20th-century American West to come out of the Beat Movement and avant-garde literary scene.

This book examines the evolution of contemporary American poetry in Los Angeles, California.

Robert Peters's poetry covers a wide range of themes and forms, from intensely personal volumes of celebrations and losses to excursions into the psyches of a vast gallery of historical eccentrics. Readers will be struck by the power, depth, and range of this retrospective collection, which should add to Peter's reputation as one of the most seminal living American poets.
