Why do American poets overwhelmingly identify with the political left? How do poems communicate? Is there an essential link between formal experimentation and political radicalism? What happens when poetic outsiders become academic insiders? Just what makes a poem a poem? If a poet gives up on her art, what reasons could she find for coming back to poetry? These are the large questions animating the essays of The Poet Resigns: Poetry in a Difficult World, a book that sets out to survey not only the state of contemporary poetry, but also the poet's relationship to politics, society, and literary criticism. In addition to pursuing these topics, The Poet Resigns peers into the role of the critic and the manifesto, the nature of wit, the poetics of play, and the persistence of modernism, while providing detailed readings of poets as diverse as Harryette Mullen and Yvor Winters, George Oppen and Robert Pinsky, Pablo Neruda and C.S. Giscombe. Behind it all is a sense of poetry not just as an academic area of study, but also as a lived experience and a way of understanding. Few books of poetry criticism show such range--yet the core questions remain clear: what is this thing we love and call 'poetry, ' and what is its consequence in the world? 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 American poetry|y21st century|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007100768|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 American poetry|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101081 650 7 American poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807348 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aArchambeau, Robert Thomas, 1968-|tPoet resigns|z9781937378417|w(DLC) 2013003408 |w(OCoLC)817267840 830 0 Akron series in contemporary poetics.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2011055745 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=686379|zOnline eBook.
