This chapter is concerned with the place of poetry in American literature. It highlights the fact that while poetry's audience keeps shrinking, the number of poets continue to multiply. It also explains that though poets have reentered the institutions of learning, they are actually not looked to for instruction about art or society.

Keywords:   poetry, American literature, poetry's audience, poets, institutions of learning, art, society
