Description
Among the distinguished scholars and critics who contribute their analyses to this volume, David Bromwich examines Elizabeth Bishop in terms of her "dream houses," Gary Smith discusses Gwendolyn Brooks in the double context of the Harlem Renaissance and of male myths about black women, and John Hollander sets the poetry of Robert Penn Warren in the contexts of poetic form. Included as well are essays that examine James Merrill, Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, Galway Kinnell, and Kenneth Koch as individual, strong poets who fuse several poetic traditions. --Chelsea House.
