| Description: |
Drawing on trends in both affect and lyric theory, this book unsettles the assumptions that inform much contemporary poetry criticism and explains why the emotional, confessional expressivity attributed to American lyric has become so controversial. |
| Synopsis: |
Gillian White argues that the poetry wars among critics and practitioners are shaped by "lyric shame"-an unspoken but pervasive embarrassment over what poetry is, should be, and fails to be. "Lyric" is less a specific genre than a way to project subjectivity onto poems-an idealized poem that is nowhere and yet everywhere. |
