Taking on one of the most crucial issues in American poetry of the last fifty years, celebrated poet Dan Chiasson explores what is lost or gained when real-life experiences are made part of the subject matter and source material for poetry. In five extended, scholarly essays-on Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Frank Bidart, Frank O'Hara, and Louise Glück-Chiasson looks specifically to bridge the chasm between formal and experimental poetry in the United States. Regardless of form, Chiasson argues that recent American poetry is most thoughtful when it engages most forcefully with autobiographical material, either in an effort to embrace it or denounce it.American poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismAutobiography in literatureSelf in literatureAmerican poetryHistory and criticism.Autobiography in literature.Self in literature.811/.509353Chiasson Dan1805487MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971394503321One kind of everything4354095UNINA
