THE POET IN AMERICAN CULTURE -- PART II. POETRY IN PLACE AND PRACTICE -- Coda "Favorite" Poems and Contemporary Readers -- Notes -- IndexIn a strikingly original and rich portrait of the uses of verse in America, Rubin shows how the sites and practices of reciting poetry influenced readers' lives and helped them to find meaning in a poet's words. By blurring the boundaries between "high" and "popular" poetry as well as between modern and traditional, it creates a fuller, more democratic way of studying our poetic language and ourselves.Oral interpretation of poetryUnited StatesAmerican literatureAppreciationUnited StatesPoetryPublic opinionPublic opinionUnited StatesOral interpretation of poetryAmerican literatureAppreciationPoetryPublic opinion.Public opinion811.009HR 1760rvkRubin Joan Shelley1947-1462624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778179803321Songs of ourselves3671660UNINA
