New Poets of England and America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Poets of England and America was a poetry anthology edited by Donald Hall, Robert Pack and Louis Simpson, and published in 1957 by Meridian Books. In the post-war story about relations between American and British poetry, it perhaps represents the moment of closest rapprochement, actual or intended. The Introduction by Robert Frost seems oblique on the topic; the inclusion of a number of The Movement poets on the British side, as well as others, implies some kind of search for matching figures amongst the Americans. The age range was limited above, to those born no earlier than 1917.
