About the Book

Like its companion volume covering the period 1955 to 1959, this index provides listings of poems published in American periodicals that span a broad spectrum of popular interests ranging from current events, literature, and the arts, to religion, homemaking, hobbies, and health. The only available index of poetry published in periodicals, it includes poems drawn from a total of forty-five mass circulation magazines, special interest publications, and scholarly and literary views. Poems are indexed by author, title, first line, and subject. Offering a true cross-section of the poetry of the period, this volume brings together much relatively inaccessible information on particular poets and poems, and it offers readers a wide selection of categores for locating verses on specific subjects.
