Excellent- More about American and British Verse in the Twentieth Century: The Poetry That Matters: The Poetry That Matters
The author argues that 20th-century poetry declined due to a lack of focus on experience and a disconnect from philosophy.

This title, originally published in 2003, poses a thought-provoking question by critic and poet Colin Falck: Why is it that almost no one can quote more than a few words from any American or British poet since Robert Lowell or Philip Larkin? The book delves into the critical history of 20th-century poetry while also examining the decline of poetry during the century's final three decades. Drawing on the ideas of English and German romanticism, the author builds upon his previous work, Myth, Truth, and Literature (1994), to present philosophically grounded discussions on the importance of modern poetry as a poetry of experience and the relationship between poetry and philosophy.
