He is Professor of English at the State University of New York, Albany."Presenting an astonishing amount of exciting poetry—as did Volume I: From Fin-de-Siècle to Negritude—this collection freely crosses national and aesthetic boundaries. . . . As an introduction to the many avant-gardes of the second half of the century, and a revision of current thinking about canonization—the 'what's in' and 'what's out' of mainstream anthologies—the value of this international gatecrasher cannot be underestimated."

Los Angeles Weekly
"A radical new interpretation of twentieth-century poetry's movement and movements."
