Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Do you know or use the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics in any
or all of its three editions (1965, 1974, 1993)? Have you found something
useful in it? Do you wish it contained something it lacks? If you don't
spend much time with poetry, do you know someone elsewhere who does?
Preparation of a fourth edition has begun, and both Roland Greene, who is
Editor-in-Chief, and I, as General Editor, would welcome any and all
suggestions and thoughts about which entries to keep, which to drop, which
to add. We have begun working our way through the 1700 entries of the third
edition in order to make these decisions, and that work should occupy us for
the next month or so. If you have ideas or suggestions, please send them
along during this time (rgreene@stanford.edu or
sbc9g@virginia.edu).
And please feel free to forward this message far and wide to colleagues
working with poetry in any language throughout the United States and in
other countries. The Princeton Encyclopedia has users around the world, and
we are trying to cast a world-wide net.
Gratefully,
Steve
