Summary:
"Unexpected Affinities: Modern American Poetry and Sumbolist Poetics studies the impact of Stevensian and Valéryan poetics, and symbolist poetics more broadly, on a range of Anglo-American poets in untypical fashion. Pairing poets who are not usually studied in their relation to one another reveals mutuality and dissimilitude."--Page 4 of cover.
