From your other posts I've seen and can recall in poetry threads I could guess you wouldn't like Oppen and nothing I show you will change your mind. I haven't read anything by Donald Sidney Fryer (nor even heard of him) but I have read Clark Ashton Smith's long poem and wasn't impressed. Though it isn't an epic per say, there are dozens of long American poems that are better, and what I would actually describe as 'American Epics,' rather than w/e Smith desires to imitate (and in my opinion, fails). Frank Stanford's likely being the best (again, written after 50s).

The only other work I would really suggest you personally after 50s is John Berryman's Dream Songs.
