Summary

Beginning with the widely discussed poem read by the young poet Amanda Gorman at the inauguration of President Joe Biden, this brief conclusion addresses the vital role that poetry continues to play in our cultural life, while also suggesting how much the borders of the poetic canon have irrevocably shifted since the beginning of the period this book covers. The chapter concludes this study by reflecting on how American poetry has responded in myriad ways to the cultural changes and historical events that have punctuated American life since 1945, while undergoing dramatic evolution and change in terms of its form, style, and content.
