The Selected Poems of Harriet Monroe

A collection of poems by Harriet Monroe, the visionary founding editor of Poetry magazine. While her work as an editor had a profound effect on the development of American poetry in the 20th century, this book seeks to showcase Monroe's work as a pioneering poet in her own right. Selected by students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln under the aegis of Professor Kevin McMullen, these poems, along with an extensive critical introduction and explanatory notes, establish Monroe's place as an important and overlooked Modernist poet.
