by Gillian White (Author)
Gillian White argues that the poetry wars among critics and practitioners are shaped by "lyric shame"--an unspoken but pervasive embarrassment over what poetry is, should be, and fails to be. "Lyric" is less a specific genre than a way to project subjectivity onto poems--an idealized poem that is nowhere and yet everywhere.
