Lyric Shame: The

Lyric Shame: The "Lyric" Subject of Contemporary American Poetry: The “Lyric” Subject of Contemporary American Poetry

by Gillian White (Author)

Synopsis

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.
