Publisher's Synopsis
The Index of American Periodical Verse is an important resource for contemporary poetry research, serving as a continuing record of trends in the output of famous and lesser-known poets and the cultural influences they represent. The index includes contemporary poets from the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. The 2000 Index, the thirtieth annual volume in the series, was produced with the cooperation of 273 participating periodicals from Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. This is the only comprehensive record of individual poets and poetry published in periodicals for the period covered. Packed into this volume are more than 7,000 entries for individual poets and translators and more than 21,000 entries for individual poems. A separate index provides access by title or first line. The publications indexed include a broad cross section of poetry; literary, scholarly, popular, general, and "little" magazines, journals, and reviews. Periodicals published outside of North America are included if they have North American editors.
