From Poetry to Verse: Essays on the Making of Modern Poetry

"This book and the exhibition it accompanies serve a common purpose: to highlight the archives of poetry journals in the University of Chicago Library and to illustrate their enormous potential for research. The exhibition surveys themes--discovering new talent, poetry in the academy, and creating an audience for poetry--that also shape the essays collected in this volume. Together they illustrate the extent to which writers, editors, curators, and scholars depend upon each other and the importance of poetry journal archives to help us understand these relationships."
