Poets in Review

Angebote / Angebote:

Widely published and internationally acclaimed poet Eric Greinke wrote reviews of his contemporaries in two periods, from 1972 to 1982 and from 2005 to 2015. The book is divided into two sections that reprint the best reviews from each of these periods. Most of the pieces in the first section were first published in Michigan's second-largest newspaper, The Grand Rapids Press. For many of the poets (ie: Charles Bukowski), Greinke wrote the first large newspaper reviews of their careers, thus promoting their work to a general audience. The reviews in the second section were originally published in a variety of literary publications, both online and in print. The selections illustrate the progression of Greinke's ideas about poetry over four decades and his perceptive insights into many of the works of the major American poets of the post-modern period.
