On topics ranging from general problems of canonicity to the critical evaluation of such poets as Plath, Ginsberg, and others, Perloff introduces nonconventional ideas of the nature of poetic texts and reframes the discussion of postmodern \"paratexts.\" Her discussion reformulates basic presuppositions of what poetry is and what it can do and leads us to see the great possibilities still open to lyric poetry at a time when, as Yeats predicted, \"the center cannot hold.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Perloff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810108445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810108448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.06w x 0.82d","brand":"Marjorie Perloff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809634349311,"sku":"9780810108448","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_145d7eda-45ce-4648-9c92-489492802ac6.jpg?v=1707927044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetic-license-marjorie-perloff-9780810108448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
