The New American Poetry 1945–1960
''The New American Poetry 1945–1960'' is a poetry anthology edited by Donald Allen, and published in 1960. It aimed to pick out the "third generation" of American modernist poets, and included quite a number of poems fresh from the little magazines of the late 1950s. In the longer term it attained a classic status, with critical approval and continuing sales. It was reprinted in 1999.
==Overview==
In 1958, Allen began work on ''The New American Poetry'' anthology. Following the Pound/Williams tradition, Allen hoped to present the range of experimental writing produced in the United States since the Second World War. The project took two years to complete and required extensive correspondence with poets, editors, and literary agents. Finally published in 1960 with a brief ''Preface'' by Allen, position statements by some of the contributors, biographical notes and ''Index''. Other considerations were taken into account in the organization of this anthology, as the following quotation illustrates:
At the time of its publication, it increased the recognition for such poets as Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, and Charles Olson, now recognized figures in what was then an emerging ''countertradition''.〔Today, ''The New American Poetry'' is recognized both as a cultural artifact and signpost for future generations. In other words, a poetry originating with Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky and expanding through the lives and works of Olson, George Oppen & the "Objectivists", Duncan, Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, Levertov, and others (specifically post-World War II), in turn extending toward the Language poets among others〕 Allen originally planned to publish revised anthologies every two or three years. However, he produced only two such books over the next twenty years: ''New American Writing'' (Penguin, 1965), and ''The Postmoderns'' (Grove, 1965).
The anthology was also influential in Canada. "It affected the writing of at least one generation of Canadian poets", according to ''The Canadian Encyclopedia''. The anthology influenced many Canadian poets to turn away from British influences and toward American models.〔Barbour, Douglas, and D.M.R. Bentley, W. J.
