"The Poetry of the Americas offers a lively and detailed history of relations among
poets in the US and Latin America, spanning three decades from the Good Neighbor diplomacy
of World War II through the Cold War cultural policies of the late 1960s. Connecting
works by Martín Adán, Elizabeth Bishop, Paul Blackburn, Jorge Luis Borges, Julia
de Burgos, Ernesto Cardenal, Jorge Carrera Andrade, Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes,
José Lezama Lima, Pablo Neruda, Charles Olson, Octavio Paz, Heberto Padilla, Wallace
Stevens, Derek Walcott, William Carlos Williams, and many others, Feinsod reveals
how poets of many nations imagined a "poetry of the Americas" that linked multiple
cultures, even as it reflected the inequities of the inter-American political system.
This account offers a rich contextual study of the state-sponsored institutions and
the countercultural networks that sustained this poetry, from Nelson Rockefeller's
Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs to the mid-1960s avant-garde
scene in Mexico City. This innovative literary-historical project enables new readings
of such canonical poems as Stevens's "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction" and Neruda's
"The Heights of Macchu Picchu," but it positions these alongside lesser known poetry,
translations, anthologies, literary journals and private correspondences culled from
library archives across the Americas. The Poetry of the Americas thus broadens the
horizons of reception and mutual influence--and of formal, historical, and political
possibility--through which we encounter midcentury American poetry, recasting traditional
categories of "U.S." or "Latin American" literature within a truly hemispheric vision.
