The Work of Poetry, Paperback / softback Book

The Work of Poetry Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

New and classic essays by one of America's most distinguished contemporary poet-critics, The Work of Poetry surveys an extraordinary range of poets, from Dante to May Swenson, and George Meredith to Marianne Moore, as well as works from the Psalms to A Child's Garden of Verses.

By turns generous and uncompromising, Hollander champions the enduring force of poetry against the incursion of fashionable writing.

This is an elegant, uncompromising affirmation of the extraordinary powers of poetic imagination from a poet whose poems have been hailed by J.D.

McClatchy as "ways of thinking on paper."
