He divides his subject into three areas: the paradoxes of reason, language, and argument. Poetic Argument surveys the writings of the five poets in light of what has to be "proved" and identifies the characteristic styles of proof for each. For example, in the chapter on Marianne Moore, Kertzer studies two expressions of poetic argument. The first regards poetry as a waking dream, combining the powers of sleep and calculation. The second, derived from Imagism, treats poetry as a special way of seeing. Kertzer suggests that the combination of these two elements produces Moore's characteristically intricate, but inconclusive, forms of argument. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zGreat Britain 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a821/.9109 700 $aKertzer$b Jonathan$f1946-$0324610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782725503321 996 $aPoetic argument$93791421 997 $aUNINA
