This well-loved copy of “The New Poetry: An Anthology” bears the patina of a lifetime of reading and appreciation. Published in 1928, it captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of American poetry, when the avant-garde voices of the modernist movement were challenging traditional forms and ushering in a new era of experimentation and innovation. Edited by the influential poet and critic Alice Corbin Henderson, in collaboration with her husband William Frederic Henderson, this anthology introduced readers to the groundbreaking work of writers like Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Marianne Moore, whose daring and unconventional styles would forever change the landscape of American letters. Despite its weathered exterior, this volume remains a testament to the enduring power of poetry to inspire and provoke, a cherished artifact from a time when the literary world was undergoing a seismic shift. For collectors and enthusiasts, it offers a rare glimpse into the vibrant artistic ferment of the early 20th century, and a tangible connection to the visionary voices that shaped the course of modern poetry.
