Helen Vendler sa zameriava na kritickú analýzu poézie, pričom jej práca sa vyznačuje hlbokým vhľadom do formy a jazyka lyrickej tvorby. Skúma najmä diela popredných svetových básnikov a odhaľuje nuansy ich veršov. Jej eseje sa ponárajú do podstaty lyrickej formy a hľadajú jej skryté štruktúry. Vendler svojim prístupom obohacuje chápanie poézie a jej neustále sa vyvíjajúceho charakteru.

The poetry collected in this volume reveals the range and power of the contemporary American imagination. The verve, freedom, and boldness of American English are combined with the new harmonies of modern cadence. Here are distillations of twentieth-century perception, feeling, and thought, and reflections of changing social realities, scientific and psychoanalytic insights, and the strong voices of feminism and black consciousness. This is a book for those who value fresh and original poetry and for readers worldwide who are curious about contemporary American experience. Helen Vendler relies on her own taste and judgment in singling out excellent poems, beginning with the late modernist flowering of Wallace Stevens and continuing to the present. Her wide-ranging Introduction places recent American poetry in its aesthetic and social contexts.
