Synopsis

Hart Crane (1899–1932) is presented here as a key figure in American modernist poetry, recognised for imagistic language and an ambitious, experimental approach. The Bridge is described as an epic meditation on America, using the Brooklyn Bridge as a metaphor linking the nation’s past with an industrialised future shaped by innovation, progress and hope within the American Dream.

White Buildings is characterised by lyrical intensity, with poems that explore love, loss and artistic ambition, alongside an openness to queer themes. This edition suits readers interested in twentieth-century American poetry and modernist writing.
