The poetics of the American suburbs /Jo Gill. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Constructing the suburbs -- Suburban tastes -- The "poet laureate of suburbia" -- Suburban landscapes -- The look of the suburbs -- On the margins -- Conclusion: the song of the suburbs.

The Poetics of the American Suburbs is the first book to consider the rich body of poetry that emerged from and helped to shape the post-war American suburbs. Jo Gill discusses the work of forty or more writers, some well-known, such as Anne Sexton and Langston Hughes, others not primarily known through their poetry such as John Updike, and some who were best-sellers in their own time but have since largely been forgotten such as Phyllis McGinley. Combining detailed textual and archival study with insights drawn from other disciplines, the book offers a new perspective on post-war suburbia and on the broader field of twentieth-century American literature.
