American Poetry Since 1900 is a seminal critical survey authored by Louis Untermeyer, one of the most influential anthologists and critics of the early twentieth century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the vibrant and transformative landscape of American verse during a period of intense artistic growth and experimentation. Untermeyer examines the transition from traditional forms to the rise of Modernism, offering astute evaluations of major figures and emerging voices who redefined the national literary identity.

The book analyzes the contributions of iconic poets such as Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg, Ezra Pound, and Amy Lowell, while also situating their work within the broader cultural and social contexts of the era. Through a series of insightful essays, Untermeyer charts the development of various schools of thought, from Imagism to the New England regionalists. As both a historical record and a piece of discerning criticism, American Poetry Since 1900 serves as an essential guide for readers seeking to understand the evolution of American poetic expression during its most formative modern years. It remains a valuable resource for students of literature and enthusiasts of the written word.
