商品簡介
A poet and English teacher in Memphis, Tennessee, Hayes explains how US poet Lowell (1917-77), in his 1959 collection Life Studies, broke a long-standing taboo by introducing the voice and feelings of the poet into poetry, and how that practice has now become so common that many cannot imaging poetry otherwise. Her topics include poetry as confession, the spiritual quarrel of T. S. Eliot and Lowell, afflictions and leviathans, the 19th-century aesthetics of Walter Pater and Lowell's "91 Revere Street," and flights of the mind and the limits of empathy. There is no index.
