Costa Rican poetry has usually followed the same literary movement that the prose is experimenting at the time. This parallelism in artistic movements is also the case with different art forms, such as painting and theater. Even though poetry has been written in the country since colonial times, most experts would agree that its "birth" occurred in the 1890's, as it did with prose. In 1890 La lira

By Shirley Geok-lin LimU.S. novelist Henry James once noted that it takes a lot of history to produce the flowering of literature. In that light, the speed with which new Asian American literature is surfacing might be considered a form of encapsulated history, an enthusiastic response from mainstream U.S. literary circles to the belated appearance of Asian Americans on the U.S. consciousness.

Walter Mosley has advanced the status of the black American mystery story
by By Robert B. SteptoDuring the 1960s, as the civil rights movement expanded, there was a feeling in U.S. literary circles that black American literature was in the midst of a second renaissance, following the Harlem Renaissance of the pre-World War II era.A case certainly could be made for this view. The 1960s saw the emergence of the Negro Ensemble Company in New York City, and countless smalle
