Description

David R. Slavitt does not believe in literary criticism so much as in 'remarks', and in this witty and unusual work, he remarks on the life of the poet: how it was - and how it is - to be an American writer in our time.

Combining personal reminiscence with deft literary analysis, incisive biographical sketches, and, sometimes, literary gossip, the essays in ""Re Verse"" give new perspectives on the famous, including Harold Bloom, Robert Penn Warren, Robert Frost, and Stephen Spender, and recover the charms of the nearly forgotten, such as Dudley Fitts, Winfield Townley Scott, Merrill Moore, and John Hall Wheelock.

Slavitt writes with self-deprecating humor of his own literary education and uses his impressive experience and erudition to illuminate the whims of poetic influence, passion, and reputation.

With a refreshing honesty and considerable poise, he gives readers an enlightening view of the vast and ever-changing literary universe.
