Dramatic Monologues: A Contemporary Anthology

From Homeric times to the present, the dramatic monologue has always occupied an esteemed place in the art of poetry, but not until now has there been an anthology devoted exclusively to the contemporary practice of this unique genre. With contributions by many of the most distinguished poets of recent decades--including a Nobel laureate and several Pulitzer Prize recipients--and an introduction discussing how these poets have continued the great tradition made prominent by Robert Browning, Dramatic Monologues: A Contemporary Anthology; marks a significant contribution to contemporary literature.
