Global in scope, experimental in structure, and revolutionary in content, the volumes in the Poets for the Millennium seriesprovide valuable introductions to poets who have been at the forefront of innovative and visionary poetry from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. Each modestly sized book consists of a selection of poetry and prose, supplemented by commentaries and documents, and edited and introduced by a poet or scholar with a fresh and radical approach to the subject. The books effectively build on and extend the work begun in the two volumes of Poems for the Millennium: The University of California Book of Modern and Postmodern Poetry.
The series is edited by Pierre Joris and Jerome Rothenberg.
