Reviews for A Poetics of Impasse in Modern and Contemporary American Poetry (Modern & Contemporary Poetics)
This book is tantalizing, informed, and insightful; written with appealing geniality (and at times an equally appealing rancor). - Jed Rasula, author of Syncopations: The Stress of Innovation in Contemporary American Poetry
