520    With lively writing and illuminating examples, David 
       Caplan argues that two characteristics mark the vast, 
       contentious literature. On the one hand, several of 
       America's major poets and critics claim that America needs
       a poetry equal to the country's distinctiveness. They 
       advocate for novelty and for a break with what is 
       perceived to be outmoded and foreign. On the other hand, 
       American poetry welcomes techniques, styles, and 
       traditions that originate from far beyond its borders. The
       force of these two competing characteristics, American 
       poetry's emphasis on its uniqueness and its 
       transnationalism, drives both individual accomplishment 
       and the broader field. These two characteristic features 
       energize American poetry, quickening its development into 
       a great national literature that continues to inspire 
       poets in the contemporary moment. American Poetry: A Very 
       Short Introduction moves through history and honors the 
       poets' artistry by paying close attention to the verse 
       forms, meters, and styles they employ. Examples range from
       Anne Bradstreet, writing a century before the United 
       States was founded, to the poets of the Black Lives Matter
       movement. This concise examination of American poetry 
       enriches our understanding of both the literature's 
       distinctive achievement and the place of its most 
       important writers within it.
