商品簡介
The current trend to shake up what many see as a moribund medium is exemplified by Amato, who calls for a gutsier approach to poetry, writing about his life and art in an iconoclastic style often reminiscent of Robert Pirsig's Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance (which Amato cites early on). He plays jubilantly with written English and refuses--despite clear evidence of his own deep reading of poetry, literature, and theory--to take any of it too seriously. Poetry lovers and writers of all persuasions will find this book at turns a challenging, fun, and thought-provoking read. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
