Poetry Explication

Résumé du livre

This volume presents a comprehensive index of poetry explications printed during the period 1925-1977, inclusive. Poems selected are of fewer than five hundred lines, and arranged alphabetically by author and title. Poets chosen must be generally recognized by the reading public. Explications must concern the whole poem, not the poet or circumstances of composition, and must not be from a source devoted to a single author. Explications are sourced from general critical assessments of currently published poetry and literary periodicals.
