Tapper treats \u003cem\u003eVoyages, The Wine Merchant\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePossessions\u003c\/em\u003e as a triptych of erotic poems in which Crane plays out alternative resolutions to the dialectic between purity and defilement, a conceptual dynamic which Tapper argues is central to both Crane's poetics of difficulty and his representations of homosexual desire. Tapper concentrates on the three sections of \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e, most concerned with recuperating animality: 'National Winter Garden, ' 'The Dance, ' and 'Cape Hatteras.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon A.
