[New-Poetry] American Modernism

[Jason Quackenbush]

The best book I've read, not to say the best book there is of course, on 
that topic is Perloff's "21st Century Modernism" for it's reading of 
stein, eliot, & duchamp. Also, the introductory essay to the Green 
Integer "Arcanum 17" which I think of as Breton's American Epic is very 
interesting on the topic of continental modernism in collision with what 
was going on in the states by the 40s and might point in some 
interesting directions.
