Description
"This critical but open-minded examination of a highly stigmatized category of language makes Gargaillo's book a valuable resource for not just scholars but also writers and teachers of contemporary poetry. . . . The book is focused, stimulating, and relevant to a wide audience of poetry lovers. . . . Gargaillo has a clear, inclusive vision of criticism that makes him a compelling voice for poetry in the twenty-first century.--American Literary Review "Florian Gargaillo writes an excellent and fascinating study by demonstrating how poets employed 'echo and critique, ' especially during and following World War II, in order to wrestle with and question the underlying assumptions of political and public speech. . . . His book is superb across the board, with a thorough and subtle examination of a wide-ranging group of poets."--Lisa Goldfarb, author of Unexpected Affinities: Modern American Poetry and Symbolist Poetics
