I enjoyed this collection of essays and used it as a recommendation bible for discovering some new-to-me poets--a task that is almost insurmountably difficult when you move away from college into a small town where poetry is unappreciated. This collection contains a good number of clear-headed explorations of difficult poetry--Brust articulates himself well and his appreciation of the works he discusses is never dulled, as is so often the case in academic books. While I sincerely enjoyed most of the essays, he does appreciate a slightly different type of poetry than I do, and so there were less leads than I'd hoped for. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Essays and critical writings on contemporary poetry by Stephen Burt, "the finest critic of his generation" (Lucie Brock-Broido) Stephen Burt'sClose Calls with Nonsenseprovokes readers into the elliptical worlds of Rae Armantrout, Paul Muldoon, C. D. Wright, and other contemporary poets whose complexities make them challenging, original, and, finally, readable. Burt's intelligence and enthusiasm introduce both tentative and longtime poetry readers to the rewards of reading new poetry. As Burt writes in the title essay: "The poets I know don't want to be famous people half so much as they want their best poems read; I want to help you find and read them. Iwrite here for people who want to read more new poetry but somehow never get around to it; for people who enjoy Seamus Heaney or Elizabeth Bishop and want to know what next; for people who enjoy John Ashbery or Anne Carson but aren't sure why; and, especially, for people who read the half-column poems in glossy magazines and ask, 'Is that all there is?'"
