American Poetry 1671-1928 is an expansive and thoughtfully curated anthology that traces the development of the American poetic tradition over more than two centuries. Compiled and edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and critic Conrad Aiken, this collection offers a profound survey of the nation's literary heritage, beginning with the early colonial verses of the 17th century and culminating in the vibrant, experimental works of the early 20th century.

The volume captures the shifting landscapes of American thought and expression, featuring a diverse array of voices that defined their respective eras. From the rigorous spiritual explorations of the Puritans to the romantic idealism of the 19th century and the emerging modernism of the 1920s, the selection highlights the unique cultural and stylistic milestones that have shaped American literature. Readers will find seminal works that explore themes of nature, identity, democracy, and the human condition.
