It is based on a key observation about four major poets from both sides of the Atlantic: Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks, Tony Harrison, and Lucille Clifton all respond to societal crises by arranging, reproducing, and reconceiving their particular versions of local speech in poetic form. The book?s overarching claim is that ?local tongues? in poetry have the capacity to bridge aesthetic and sociopolitical realms because nonstandard local speech declares its distinction from the status quo and binds people who have been subordinated by hierarchical social conditions, while harnessing those versions of speech into poetic structures can actively counter the very hierarchies that would degrade those languages. The diverse local tongues of these four poets marshaled into the forms of poetry situate them at once in literary tradition, in local contexts, and in prevailing social constructs. 410 0$aModern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics,$x2634-6060 606 $aPoetry 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aRhetorics 606 $aLiterary Criticism 606 $aHistorical Linguistics 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 14$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aRhetorics. 615 24$aLiterary Criticism. 615 24$aHistorical Linguistics. 676 $a808 676 $a821.91409 700 $aFogarty$b William$01252751 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910585971103321 996 $aThe Politics of Speech in Later Twentieth-Century Poetry$92904422 997 $aUNINA
