Mainstream American poetry of the 1950s has long been dismissed as deliberately indifferent to its cultural circumstances. This study attempts to break the placid surface of the hollow decade to reveal a poetry sharply responsive to issues of its time. It undertakes a re-examination of many of the "mainstream" and almost forgotten poets.
