20th American Century Literature



American Poets Say Goodbye to the 20th Century by Andrei Codrescu,

American Poets Say Goodbye to the 20th Century by Andrei Codrescu,
The editors of this anthology asked more than one hundred American poets from divergent backgrounds and literary traditions the following question: How would you say goodbye to the twentieth century? In the pages of this anthology, we find the answers - answers that reflect on the past, weaving strands of memory and history, and others that look to the future. "The twentieth century is where we have lived our lives", say Codrescu and Rosenthal in their introduction. "Where we were constituted to be utterly unlike the centuries that came before us". The twentieth century brought steel girders and engines, the movies, world wars and genocide, mass consumerism, and the new-found religion of science and technology. American Poets Say Goodbye to the Twentieth Century not only explores a subject as vast as this century, but brings together a profound chorus of contemporary American voices. The editors deliberately straddled the customary fault lines in American poetry, approaching poets from all walks of verse. Writers both new and established are represented here, including Paul Auster, Charles Bukowski, Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Kumin, Carolyn Kizer, Charles Simic, David Trinidad, and Anne Waldman.



The Sound of Light: A History of Gospel and Christian Music by Don Cusic, X
The Sound of Light: A History of Gospel and Christian Music by Don Cusic, X
The Sound of Light is a sweeping overview of the history of gospel music. Powerful and incisive, it traces contemporary Christianity and Christian music to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation after examining music in the Bible and early church music.From the psalms of the early Puritans through the hymns of human composure of Isaac Watts and the social activism of the Wesleys, gospel music was established in 18th century America. With the camp meeting songs of the Kentucky Revival, the spirituals that came from the slave culture, and the hymns from the great revival after the Civil War, gospel music advanced through the 19th century. The 20th century brought recording technology and electronic media to the table.Gospel music has developed with Christian revivals and the history of American gospel music is the history of Christianity in America. Gospel music reflects the American spirit of freedom and the free market as a Christian culture emerges in the 20th century, providing a spiritual as well as economic foundation. The Sound of Light presents gospel music as part of the history of contemporary Christianity. It is a work broad in scope that defines a music essential to understanding American culture as well as American music in the 20th century.Don Cusic is the author of ten books, including the biography Eddy Arnold: I'll Hold You in My Heart and an encyclopedia of cowboys, Cowboys and the Wild West: An A-Z Guide from the Chisholm Trail to the Silver Screen. He joined the faculty at Middle Tennessee State University in 1982, teaching courses in the music business. He earned a Masters and Doctorate in Literature from MTSU. Since August of 1994, Cusic has been Professorof Music Business at Belmont University.
