A decidedly American tradition, the long poem became §the premier literary endeavor for poets in the §twentieth century. Writers such as T.S. Eliot, Ezra §Pound, and William Carlos Williams worked on long §poems, but under the auspices of the modern epic. §The three postmodern long poems under study here §Kenneth Koch s Seasons on Earth, Edward Dorn s §Gunslinger, and James Merrill s The Changing Light §at Sandover illustrate a dramatic rupture with the §texts of modernism by introducing comic motifs and §multi-voiced narration situations described by §Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin as carnival §and dialogism respectively into the canon of the §American long poem. These innovations allow the §postmodern long poem to evolve past the thematic and §aesthetic strictures imposed by the texts of §modernism. They represent an opening up of the §genre and hint at directions the long poem may take §in the future. The present study should have appeal §to researchers and students of postmodern §literature, particularly poetry, as well as general §readers interested in recent developments in the §world of letters.
