The Value of Poetry

Beschreibung

The Value of Poetry shows how and why poetry matters in the contemporary world and demonstrates what poems can offer to twenty-first century readers. It argues that poems are vital spaces in which the complexities of thought, feeling, and memory are shaped and displayed, and that poems offer unique and crucial forms of readerly experience.
