Break, Blow, Burn by Camille Paglia
America's most provocative intellectual brings her blazing powers of analysis to the most famous poems of the Western tradition-and unearths some previously obscure verses worthy of a place in our canon. Combining close reading with a panoramic breadth of learning, Camille Paglia sharpens our understanding of poems we thought we knew, from Shakespeare to Dickinson to Plath, and makes a case for including in the canon works by Paul Blackburn, Wanda Coleman, Chuck Wachtel, Rochelle Kraut-and even Joni Mitchell. Daring, riveting, and beautifully written, Break, Blow, Burn is a modern classic that excites even seasoned poetry lovers-and continues to create generations of new ones.Camille Paglia is a Humanities and Media Studies University Professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She is the author of Glittering Visions, Break, Blow, Burn, Sexual Personae, Sex, Art, and American Culture, and Vamps & Tramps, and is a regular contributor to Salon.com.
