To ask the first question is to ask the second. To answer both questions in light of the western tradition stretching back to Homer, and against much modernist and postmodernist poetic theory and practice, is the goal of James Matthew Wilson's remarkable new book, The Fortunes of Poetry in an Age of Unmaking.

Cunningham: 'It is metrical composition.'"--David Middleton, in The American Conservative. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Poetics. 650 0 $a Poetry. 650 0 $a Poetry, Modern $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Poetry, Modern $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Poetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067682 650 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067691 650 7 $a Poetry, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067769 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212014602.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF9B22BAE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
