How Did Poetry Survive?(English, Electronic book text, Newcomb John Timberman) is written by Newcomb John Timberman and published by University of Illinois Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0252093909 (ISBN 10) and 9780252093906 (ISBN 13).

This book traces the emergence of modern American poetry at the turn of the nineteenth century. With a particular focus on four "little magazines"--Poetry, The Masses, Others, and The Seven Arts--John Timberman Newcomb shows how each advanced ambitious agendas combining urban subjects, stylistic experimentation, and progressive social ideals. While subsequent literary history has favored the poets whose work made them distinct--individuals singled out usually on the basis of a novel technique--Newcomb provides a denser, richer view of the history that hundreds of poets made.
