New York City Poetry
from Part III - Identity and Place
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2020
From Whitman to Claudia Rankine, OHara to Maggie Nelson, Langston Hughes to Eileen Myles, Elizabeth Bishop to Vijay Seshadri, poets have infused New York’s streets, statues, street corners, parks, squares, buildings, districts, institutions, public transportation systems, bridges, waterways, and even phone booths with their joy, their politics, and their personal lives. As the city’s poets negotiate its variousness, in both their writing and their lives, New York takes on alternate guises, manifesting itself in poetry as a subject, a setting, a muse, a witness, and a medium through which emotions, memories, and perspectives are refracted.
