"The New Poetry: An Anthology" edited by Harriet Monroe and Alice Corbin Henderson is a collection of contemporary poetry written in the early 20th century. This anthology aims to capture the essence of the emerging voices in poetry during this period, reflecting a significant shift from traditional poetic forms to a new, more modern approach to expression. The editors intend to showcase poets who embrace a style that favors simplicity, emotional authenticity, and a direct engagement with contemporary life and themes. The opening of the anthology begins with an introduction discussing the resurgence of poetry and the editors’ goal to present the work of poets who are contributing to this "new poetry." The introduction sets the stage by highlighting the distinct differences between traditional poetry and the contemporary movement focused on realism and immediacy. It emphasizes a desire for a more honest engagement with the world, abandoning overly ornate language for a style that resonates with contemporary readers. As the anthology unfolds, it includes a variety of poets and poems, showcasing a rich tapestry of styles and themes that collectively represent the vitality of the poetic spirit during this transformative era.
