  Winner of the Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism, this book sounds a note of powerful, tempered optimism amid gloomy forecasts of the decline of the humanities and the death of poetry. It lays out a fresh approach to American poetry at large, expounding a defence of the art that will resonate well into this century.
