American Poetry Set
Readers of poetry seek different things – expressions of unorthodoxy and individuality, appreciations of the natural world, observations ranging from jarring to introspective. American poets have captured all of this and then some, continuously breaking free from earlier traditions to reinvent the country’s culture. This set includes five anthologies of American poetry from the 17th through the 20th centuries, collecting thousands of works from hundreds of poets.
The hardcover books are published by Library of America and feature custom-printed jackets designed with snippets of manuscripts and typescripts from these poets, a visual encapsulation of the varying styles and voices in the collection.
Includes:
- American Poetry: The 17th and 18th Centuries, edited by David S. Shields
- American Poetry: The 19th Century (Vol. 1) edited by John Hollander
- American Poetry: The 19th Century (Vol. 2) edited by John Hollander
- American Poetry: The 20th Century (Vol. 1) edited by Robert Hass
- American Poetry: The 20th Century (Vol. 2) edited by Robert Hass
We also offer:
- Full Custom services that can be engaged to modify or expand this set's book list or develop a new jacket design. Click here!
Please allow a 4-6 week lead time, as your set will be made-to-order. Each Juniper Custom jacket is comparable to an individual art print. Our original designs are printed on high-quality paper and finished with a matte laminate on the outer side, making them tear-resistant, durable, and beautiful to handle.
