 Bibliography
In critical work, Manfred Malzahn’s The Contemporary Scottish Novel 1978-81 (Frankfurt: Peter Lang, 1984) focuses on fiction of the period as national self-expression; Cairns Craig's The Modern Scottish Novel; Narrative and the National Imagination (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1999) is a stimulating attempt to identify the main characteristics of contemporary writers.
The first in-depth study of Scots poetry from Stevenson to the present and from a linguistic perspective is J. Derrick McClure’s Language, Poetry and Nationhood (East Linton: Tuckwell Press, 2000).

 Heath Anthology of American LiteratureKimiko Hahn - Author Page
Meditative yet urgent, full of integrity and sensuality, suffused with a multilingual sensibility and “sense memory” (the title of a poem), Hahn’s poetry is extremely compelling in its inscriptions of Asian American female desire and subjectivity.
Hahn is the author of five collections of poetry: Air Pocket (1989); Earshot (1992), which was awarded the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize and an Association of Asian America Studies Literature Award; The Unbearable Heart (1995), which received an American Book Award; Volatile (1999); and Mosquito and Ant (1999).
The libidinal charge of Hahn’s poetry confounds distinctions between private and public, the intimate and the global.

Whereas standard limericks are usually humorous and often off-color or downright crude, Poetic Limericks span a broad range of subject matter and, using words as an art form, employ literary devices found in more traditional forms of poetry.

Cairns discusses Propertius 3.3.1-16 to demonstrate that the poet's failure to observe historical sequence and his apparent confusion regarding the triumph of L. Aemilius Paullus can be seen as examples of the achronicity and conflation of historical material in lyric poetry.
His central argument, that the proper pursuits of poets and historians was far from clear cut, takes us a long way from Classen's argument for the lack of historiographical influence on poetry.

 Spanish Poetry and Anglo-American Modernism: The Legacy of Andrew P. Debicki
This suggests that American critics of Spanish poetry are in some sense translating between two poetic traditions, reading the Spanish text in relation to their own understanding of a tradition closer to home.
The case of Lorca is a pivotal one, for Lorca was already an important presence in American poetry when Debicki wrote and published his New Critical study of the Generation of 1927 (or of 1924–25, as he preferred to call it).
The main variable is that Debicki views modernist poetry as embodying this transcendent meaning in its linguistic structures, whereas later poetry (postmodern?) achieves transcendence by leading the reader into a quasi-deconstructive aporia.

 Online NewsHour: Poetry Slam -- August 17, 1999
A look at the national poetry slam, a fusion of performance art and poetry that places young poets in a competition to be the best at delivering their work.
Within slam, one of the big criticisms of slam, as with a lot of performance poetry, is that it is not well translatable to the page.
It is difficult, I think, to bring it out like poetry and incorporate competition judged by random members of the audience and not have it flawed, but I think what it has definitely done is brought poetry back to people in a way that not many gimmicks have done before.

 Poetry Daily Prose Feature: Conversation with Peter Johnson
The journal's long run and considerable accomplishment would help to integrate prose poetry into the literary landscape, though Johnson admits, "I only planned to do one issue, so calling it Volume One was really a private joke." It seems the joke was on him because the journal lasted nine years.
Mostly I was annoyed by the lack of discipline in the prose of the same poets who would bring much higher standards to their verse poetry.
Originally, I wanted my poetry to echo the metrical schemes and elevated subjects of those Latin and Greek writers I had translated in high school and college, but the results were always strained, inauthentic.

 BalticRing.org - New prose from Finland
Great tradition of modern poetry (for instance by Mirkka Rekola and Finnish-Swedish Bo Carpelan) has been all the time a good school for younger poets; so aphoristic tightness and sharp observation by image have their strong position in new Finnish poetry.
The approach in prose of the new Finnish literature (1999-2004) has changed from long epic structure (American drive by Antti Tuuri) to the more fragmentary wholeness.
In poetry best books have a well-balanced nature.
