Summary

Celebrated, controversial, influential, this highly unconventional and ground-breaking anthology of American poetry was widely read throughout the '70s and early '80s. Edited as a series of "maps" for exploring interconnections between conventionally unrelated poetic forms and literary circles, it brings together poets from all styles and schools, putting men and women on equal footing -- Beats, academics, Black Mountain and other "experimental" poets, Native Americans, Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics -- from a multicultural perspective (far from PC then) that pushes neither ethnic difference nor sameness but explores deeply common concerns. American A Prophecy (a title from William Blake) has indeed proved prophetic of openness to unfamiliar voices, new paths and new possibilities, that has become an expected part of the present literary scene.
