Produktbeschreibung
In Nebraska Poetry: A Sesquicentennial Anthology, editor Daniel Simon has collected poems that indeed nibble at that vastness. This is Nebraska’s most comprehensive and well-researched poetry anthology to date, inclusive of gender, age, ethnicity, and geographic areas of the state. The poems range from the settling of the West, to reflections of a past/agrarian lifestyle, to nature/environment, to the more urban poems of the twenty-first century. The poets and their work are arranged by year of birth, which allows us to appreciate the change of styles and subjects that have always occurred in poetry as well as the continuum of similarities. This volume is a delight to peruse and offers readers the rare opportunity to discover so many voices—the almost-forgotten women writing in the early 1900s to those in the present generation. Most of the contributors are contemporary poets writing at the height of their careers.
