For my history project, I am researching the 1920's. I am having difficulty finding poetry written in the 1920's. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on poetry written during this time and/or where to look?
Thank you.

I think Elinor Wylie was writing around that time (1920s).
Let No Charitable Hope
Now let no charitable hope
Confuse my mind with images
Of eagle and of antelope:
I am in nature none of these.
I was, being human, born alone;
I am, being woman, hard beset;
I live by squeezing from a stone
The little nourishment I get.
In masks outrageous and austere
The years go by in single file;
But none has merited my fear,
And none has quite escaped my smile.
Elinor Wylie (1885-1928)
I'm not sure about an exact date on this, however...

Thank you very much for your help.
W B Yeats, A E Housman, Edna St Vincent Millay, Ezra Pound, T S Eliot, John Masefield, HD, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, e e cummings to name but a very few.
Does anyone know when "Domination Of Black" by Wallace Stevens was written? I think it was written in the 1920s but I am not sure of the exact year. If anyone knows, please reply. Thank you.
I don't know about written, but it was published in the collection Harmonium in 1923.Jill Hagey wrote:

I hate Yeats!!! what was he on when he wrote these 'poems'- if that's what they're supposed to be. i mean seriously, this guy is totally wack!!
Rudyard Kipling, but you'll have to check dates as he had a long career.
