New Poets of England and America
New Poets of England and America was a poetry anthology edited by Donald Hall, Robert Pack and Louis Simpson, and published in 1957.[1] In the post-war story about relations between American and British poetry, it represents the moment of closest rapprochement, actual or intended. The introduction was written by Robert Frost.[2] The inclusion of a number of British Movement poets, as well as others, implies some kind of search for matching figures amongst the Americans.[citation needed] Poets had to be under forty years old to be included.[1]
