The Poems of J. V. Cunningham

J. V. Cunningham

In an era when most poets were experimenting with new forms of verse, J. V. Cunningham was an ardent champion of traditional structure and rhythm. An academic at renowned colleges, Cunningham backed his views with published verse that follows the forms and still packs an emotional punch. He became known for his epigrams, recalling those of the ancient Roman poets. Leigh Rich, P. T. Bridgeport, and Dr. Carol Andrews discuss the life and works of J. V. Cunningham.
