Poetry by individual poets

Series: American Poets Project

Better known for writing in a variety of other genres, James Agee always thought of himself as essentially a poet. Winner of the Yale Younger Poets competition in 1934 for Permit Me Voyage, Agee was, in the words of editor Andrew Hudgins, ""as restless in his poetry as he was later in his prose, exhibiting a variety . . . that we expect from the protean mind that excelled in so many different kinds of writing."" Ranging from intense religious sonnets to lyrics for musical comedy, Agee?s verse takes us into the heart of his unique genius, what Robert Fitzgerald called his ""sense of being . . . a raging awareness of the sensory field in depth and in detail.""

About the American Poets Project Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today's most discerning poets and critics.

'Chapters on Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia provide a systematic analysis of elite politics, factionalism, party and interest group formation, and social and ethnic divisions. Karen Dawisha and Bruce Parrott contribute theoretical and comparative chapters on post-communist political development. This book provides students and scholars with detailed analysis by leading authorities, plus the latest research data on recent political and economic trends in each country.'
