A Poetry Criticism Reader by Jerry Harp
A timely and informative collection, ""A Poetry Criticism Reader"" brings together eleven essays and reviews that constitute some of the best and most illuminating poetry criticism from the past decade. In his introduction to the book, editor-poet Jerry Harp gives an overview of poetry criticism and its pluralistic traditions after the high modernist years of T. S. Eliot. In the essays that follow, esteemed critics and poets explore varied aspects of poetics, make aesthetic statements, relate to postmodernism with its array of meanings, and examine particular poets and poems. Works by Donald Justice, James Tate, Paul Muldoon, Jorie Graham, Seamus Heaney, and Czeslaw Milosz are among those studied. None of the pieces was written in direct response to any of the others; nonetheless, they complement each other, forming a kind of dialogue. Because editors Jerry Harp and Jan Weissmiller selected writers who give us a broad range of perspectives on our postmodern moment as they reach into history for context, the collection offers students - the next generation of poets and critics - and their teachers exemplary models of fine critical writing and thought.
Jerry Harp is a visiting assistant professor of English at Lewis and Clark College in Oregon. His books include Creature, Gatherings, and the forthcoming collection Urban Flowers, Concrete Plains. He is a contributing editor of Delmar and regularly reviews poetry for the Iowa Review and Pleiades. Jan Weissmiller has long been on the staff of Prairie Lights Books, where she is the poetry buyer and arranges poetry readings for the ""Live from Prairie Lights"" series. She received her MFA from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, teaches at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, occasionally reviews poetry for the Boston Review, and was awarded the Loess Hills Poetry Award for her collection In Divided Light.
