Description for Differentials
Paperback. Marjorie Perloff explores and defends her belief in the power of close reading, a strategy often maligned as reactionary in today's critical climate but which, when construed "differentially," is vital, she believes, to any true understanding of a literary or poetic work. Series: Modern & Contemporary Poetics Series. Num Pages: 368 pages, Illustrations, 1 port. BIC Classification: DSC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 22. Weight in Grams: 549.
A new collection of essays from a distinguished critic of contemporary poetry.
Marjorie Perloff is one of the foremost critics of contemporary American poetry writing today. Her works are credited by many with creating and sustaining new critical interest not only in the work of major modernist poets such as Yeats, Pound, Eliot, and Williams but also in the postwar tradition of American poetic innovation that ranges from the Black Mountain poets, through the New York School and concrete poetry, to the Language Poets of the 1980s and '90s.

Reviews for Differentials
The only way to get a poem, Marjorie Perloff reminds us, is to read it, word for word, line by line. As we have come to expect, this book is learned, provocative and illuminating, a joyful celebration of the pleasures of the text, and a passionate argument for difference."
