At Least as Good as the Movies

Panel: 
Rethinking Post-war American Poetry
Abstract: 

In this paper, I argue that the middle generation of American poets were much more influenced by film than has been previously noted. Looking at a short story by Delmore Schwartz, several poems by Lowell and several of Berryman's Dream Songs, I discover a new context in which to read these works.
