Postmodern poetry

Postmodern American Poetry is a 1994 poetry anthology edited by Paul Hoover; it is a Norton anthology published by W. W. Norton and Co.. The introduction identifies the use of postmodern with its early mention by Charles Olson, and identifies the field chosen as experimental poetry from after 1945. The book contains, besides poems, about 20 short essays on poetics.

It joined two other collections which appeared at that time: From the Other Side of the Century: "A New American Poetry, 1960-1990" (1994; edited by Douglas Messerli) and American Poetry Since 1950 (1993; edited by Eliot Weinberger).

The anthology, the goal of which is to "fully represent the movements of American avant-garde poetry" includes representatives from the Beat and New York School poets, the Projectivists, "Deep Image" poets, language and performance poetry, and various experimentalists.

In all the anthology consists of 411 poems by 103 poets and essays by 18 authors, including some of the poets who also have poetry in the book.
