Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. 123 Pages. First Edition by the full number line. This interesting critique of poetry and its various aspects comes in a dust jacket that would be like-new save for slight undulations at the top and bottom of the spine's edges.The interior book, however, is in like-new condition with no visible extraneous markings, detriments or distractions throughout it and thus all of its printing is in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you order this interesting discussion of poetry from us, it will be carefully wrapped up in either foam or bubble wrap, then padded and boxed and mailed right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it and it will come to you with our genuine appreciation for your order.

The Resistance To Poetry

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Poems inspire our trust, argues James Longenbach in this bracing work, because they don't necessarily ask to be trusted. Theirs is the language of self-questioning metaphors that turn against themselves, syntax that moves one way because it threatens to move another. Poems resist themselves more strenuously than they are resisted by the cultures receiving them. But the resistance to poetry is quite specifically the wonder of poetry. Considering a wide array of poets, from Virgil and Milton to Dickinson and Gluck, Longenbach suggests that poems convey knowledge only inasmuch as they refuse to be vehicles for the efficient transmission of knowledge. In fact, this self-resistance is the source of the reader's pleasure: we read poetry not to escape difficulty but to embrace it. An astute writer and critic of poems, Longenbach makes his case through a sustained engagement with the language of poetry. Each chapter brings a fresh perspective to a crucial aspect of poetry (line, syntax, figurative language, voice, disjunction) and shows that the power of poetry depends less on meaning than on the way in which it means on the temporal process we negotiate in the act of reading or writing a poem. Readers and writers who embrace that process, Longenbach asserts, inevitably recoil from the exaggeration of the cultural power of poetry in full awareness that to inflate a poem's claim on our attention is to weaken it. A graceful and skilled study, The Resistance to Poetry honors poetry by allowing it to be what it is. This book arrives at a critical moment at a time when many people are trying to mold and market poetry into something it is not. DJ. 123 pages. N� de r�f. du vendeur 1566865
