What is Love Songs : the Lives, Loves, and Poetry of Nine American Women about?

Poetry was a form of liberation. The all-engrossing subject was love. Love Songs is a collective biography of nine American women poets who lived and wrote, primarily, in the first half of the twentieth century and were important in the emergence of New York City as the literary capital of the nation. They knew one another, and sometimes reviewed, criticized, and encouraged each others work. The poems presented here are lyric poems, short song-like poems of many moods and forms, on many varied subjects relationships, urban life, modernism and traditionalism, contemporary politics, and, above John Dizikes all, the infinite varieties of love. Lonie Adams subtly explored the metaphysics of contemporary love. Louise Bogan , a wide-ranging observer of the contemporary scene, was influential as poetry editor of The New Yorker . Amy Lowell, a pioneer of free verse and Modernist Imagism, was a prolific essayist and reviewer, and a biographer of Keats. Edna St. Vincent Millay , a compelling performer and a cultural force, was Americas most-read poet. Marianne Moore , unconventional in every regard, was an incomparable Modernist, her poetry unique in point of view and style. Genevieve Tagga
