Overheard Voices : Address and Subjectivity in Postmodern American Poetry Paperback / softback
by Ann Keniston
Part of the Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
Overheard Voices examines poetic address and in particular apostrophe (the address of absent or inanimate others) in the work of four post-World War II American poets, with a focus on loss, desire, figuration, audience, and subjectivity.
By approaching these crucial issues from an unexpected angle--through a study of the seldom-examined lyric "you"--Overheard Voices offers new insight into both contemporary lyric and the lyric genre more generally.
The book offers detailed readings of Sylvia Plath, James Merrill, Louise Glück, and Frank Bidart.
