Items related to Why Write Poetry?: Modern Poets Defending Their Art
Synopsis
Johnson (expository writing, Harvard U.) examines twentieth- and twenty-first-century poets who defend the act of writing poetry in verse: H.D., Wallace Stevens, W.H. Auden, Adrienne Rich, and Geoffrey Hill. She notes that these verse defenses are a genre that has been ignored by previous literary critics. She suggests a new way to read these poets and illustrates that apology in poetry is a function of lyric introspection. The book is based on the author's doctoral dissertation.
