Recenzii

Handbooks of this kind rarely - if ever - give the poets themselves the microphone. I wish more would follow The Bloomsbury's example. The questions poised are provocative and the answers illuminating (and sometimes suggestively elusive) ... A charming, idiosyncratic, and weirdly seductive map to a whole lot of poems.
This is such a wonderful anomaly among handbooks of poetry that I read it in one sitting. It is multicultural and multifaceted, personal and provocative, witty and wacky. The Handbook is an exciting mélange that will appeal to every scholar, student, and lover of American poetry.
Steven Gould Axelrod and Craig Svonkin sought "a whale of a book." Well, harpoon one they have, and no harm done. They right this vessel, sail the main of contemporary American poetry, and provision all with rich chowder. The crew within is as diverse, though better starred, than any that ever allegorized the decks of a Pequod. Here, surely, is a mast-head from which to survey our present literary horizons. Is this book indispensable? Reader, it is more. Climb aboard.
