The Anthology as a Manifesto & as an Epic Including Poetry, or the Gradual Making of Poems for the Millennium
Author
Rothenberg, JeromeDate
2006Abstract
The author discusses the making of the anthology, Poems for the Millennium, or of “the
anthology as an epic poem and/or a manifesto.” Both Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris
were able to show too —if it needed showing— that multiculturalism and avantgardism
were not incompatible but historically, though not inevitably, related. El autor analiza la construcción de la antología, Poems for the Millennium, o su considera-
ción “de la antología como poema épico y/o manifiesto”. Los editores de esta antología,
Jerome Rothenberg y Pierre Joris supieron mostrar —por si ello fuese necesario— que el
multiculturalismo y el vanguardismo no eran incompatibles sino que estaban, aunque no
de manera inevitable, históricamente relacionados.
