This book examines the poetry of Hart Crane and his circle within transnational modernist periodical culture. It reappraises Crane's poetry and reception and introduces several lost works by the poet, including critical prose, reviews and 'Nopal', a poem written in Mexico. Through its exploration of Crane's close engagement with periodical culture, it provides a rich and detailed panorama of twentieth-century literary and artistic communities. In particular, this monograph offers a vivid portrait of forgotten periodicals and their artistic communities, examines the periodical contexts in which modernist poetry fused material and aesthetic experimentation and explores Crane's important and neglected influence on modern and contemporary poetry.

Visionary Company is an academic book, but it reads better than most and can profitably be enjoyed by anyone interested in Crane’s work, periodical culture, modernism, or all of these. It’s impeccably documented and draws capaciously from a wide variety of sources. With every page the reader shares the rewards of Bratton’s trawling through files and folders in dusty archives to bring this all to life again – and Crane himself, too.
