Murphy; Works Cited; Contributors; IndexThe bold essays that make up Reading the Difficulties offer case studies in and strategies for reading innovative poetry.Definitions of what constitutes innovative poetry are innumerable and are offered from every quarter.

The tenets of new poetry abound.But what of the new reading that such poetry demands?
