	American Poetry Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		American poetry remains a hybrid, a literature that tries to separate itself from the tradition of English literature even as it adds to and alters that tradition.
		American modernist poetry emerged in the first half of the 20th century, as many writers sought to subdue nationalist impulses in their poetry and define themselves as part of an international advance in the arts.
		Confessional poetry in general served as a counterforce to the prevailing mood of the country in the 1950s and 1960s, when the family was presented in the mass media as the source of stability and happiness.

	Jed Rasula. "Anthologizing American Poetry in the 1990s"
		Academic scrutiny of "Language poetry" is impressive, particularly for a small press movement of poets, now mostly in their forties, who have yet to win any literary awards.
		In the domain of poetry anthologies, however, they are all personae non gratae, despite the fact that ambitious anthologies have been appearing steadily since the mid-1980s.
		The kind of poetry favored in such an account is that which can be glossed without reference to ideology as such, because the ideological disposition of the canonizing institutions would otherwise stand revealed.

	Dana Gioia Online - Italian-American Poetry
		Although Italian-American poetry began in 1805 with the arrival of Mozart's librettist, the Venetian writer Lorenzo da Ponte, it took another century and a half for enough significant authors to appear to claim the attention of the English-speaking public.
		The poetry of the early arrivals—and there is a great deal of engaging work—was written mostly in Southern dialects.
		One sometimes sees the sharp edge of naturalism in the poetry of W. DI Piero, Lucia Maria Perillo, and Felix Stefanile as strongly as in the cinema of Martin Scorsese or Michael Cimino.

	What's American About American Poetry?
		1) The "adolescent" or rebellious way in which Americans truncate or bastardize "The King's English," which is integral to American English itself and a byproduct of the breakdown in class structures and the accelerated commodification of institutions; all this exacerbated by a fierce and idealized individualism.
		But overall, the American institutions that foster poetry favor those poets residing in the state of New York first and those poets residing in the original 13 colonies second.
		As long as American society is closed to full and honest participation of Afro-Americans (that is, without the underpinnings of effective legislation), the going trends in approximating citizenship parity will impact on the development of literature among the victimsof racism, not all of whom are or will be Afro-Americans.

	American Poetry
		Poetry is one of the oldest forms of expression, celebrating the evolving triumph of knowledge over superstition, of civilization over barbarism, and of order over chaos.
		During the last quarter of the twentieth century, our American poetry was taken from our people, removed from the realm of everyday truth and beauty, captured by the academy and its literary theorists.
		Poetry, once liberated, should once again strengthen the development of our American civilization and deepen our understanding of ourselves.

		In Native American culture, stories were passed down from generation to generation.
