The Ocean, the Bird, and the Scholar: Essays on Poets and Poetry - Helen Vendler

Descriere

One of our foremost commentators examines the work of a broad range of English, Irish, and American poets. Helen Vendler's essays, book reviews, and occasional prose from the past two decades, taken together, are an eloquent plea for the centrality in humanistic study and modern culture of poetry's subversive, sustaining, and demanding legacy.
