XVI * American Literature: The Twentieth Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter has six sections: 1. Poetry; 2. Fiction 1900–1945; 3. Fiction since 1945; 4. Drama; 5. African American Writing; 6. Native, Asian American, Latino/a and General Ethnic Writing. Section 1 is by Lacy Rumsey; section 2 is by Elizabeth Nolan and James M. Decker; section 3 is by Michael Boyd; section 4 is by Amy M. Flaxman; section 5 is by Alan Rice and Stella Bolaki; section 6 is by Sarah Robertson In a year that saw the publication of relatively few new sources of primary material, UCalP continued to issue useful editions of postwar poets. Robert Creeley's Collected Poems 1975–2005 brought the poet's oeuvre to an attractive if melancholy close, covering collections from Hello to the posthumously published On Earth , which also appeared this year. The Holy Forest: Collected Poems of Robin Blaser , edited by Miriam Nichols, constituted an expansion of an earlier collection bearing the same title (Couch House [1993]); the companion volume, The Fire: Collected Essays of Robin Blaser , provides critical writing on as well as by the poet, and provides a useful introduction to the work of this atypical figure of the Berkeley, and subsequently Canadian, scenes. Elsewhere, Elisabeth A. Frost and Cynthia Hogue edited Innovative Women Poets: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry and Interviews . Featuring fifteen poets, including Alice Fulton, Harryette Mullen, Alice Notley, and Barbara Guest, the volume constitutes an attractive way into their work, providing variety and a certain degree of depth, though in most cases one would have preferred more pages of poems and fewer of interview. The year's notable volume of correspondence was Blount, ed., The Contemplated Spouse: The Letters of Wallace Stevens to Elsie , which is primarily, but not exclusively, of biographical interest; the rich stock of letters written during the poet's courtship contain interesting asides—on the poet's lack of religious feeling, on poetry, on quotation, on New York—and allow readers to encounter, as Blount notes, a version of ‘Wallace’ that persists throughout the poet's subsequent self-inventions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
