From Library Journal
An academic poet adept at poeticizing his academic discourse, Hollander addresses the self-referential nature of poetry by considering how devices such as rhetorical questions and answers, imperatives, refrains, lengthy lines, and metaphors of constraint serve to articulate "poetry's allegorization of its sense of its own nature." He compares its differentiation of form from content to philosophy's mind-body problem, but resolves it by arguing for "the fictive character of form itself." Specialists will appreciate the deconstructive readings, while poets will benefit from his crash course in rhetoric. Overall, a lively and enlivening work of criticism. This issue includes a review of Harp Lake, Hollander's latest collection of poems. Ed. Fred Muratori, Cornell Univ. Lib.
