Book excerpt: Supplement volumes 7-9 (a-fou, fre-poem, and poet-z) contain discussions of 376 poems from the eighth to the late twentieth century. The volumes complement the original six-volume Masterplots II: Poetry Series (1992), continuing its pagination and volume- number sequence. They extend coverage to well-known poems that were not in the original series and to more 20th-century poems--allowing more discussions of work by African Americans, Hispanic, Asian American, and American Indian writers. Entries for each selected poem begin with a description of the poem, then discuss forms and devices and themes and meanings. Quick reference information at the head of each entry includes the author, type of poem, and date of first publication. The cumulative indexes in volume nine include an index by type of poem.
