Literary Essays on Explicable Splendours
For the curious reader, these essays explore Shakespeare and his re-envisioners; modern novels that interrogate identity; and underappreciated writers. They conclude with a series of pensees that reflect upon the interpretative craft itself.
This series of critical pieces is variously structured, with conventional essays, extended meditations, and short analytic notes appealing to differing tastes and offering meticulous close readings of a huge range of authors, from Akhmatova to Yeats.
This series of critiques explores three literary forums. “Modern Sonneteers” shows that the sonnet thrives still. “Homage to Hilary Mantel” offers new analyses of the pre-eminent novelist. “Critical Letters” gathers pensees on literature written during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Modernist Image
Why study Pound and Eliot as Imagists when one left the movement and the other never belonged? To explore their shared premium on precision for opposite ends. Pound plied accuracy to carve distinctions, while Eliot used it to intuit a divine amalgamation.
This anthology presents fifteen exemplary poets from Springfield, Illinois, and advances a critical method. We garner much from reading the justly famed alongside the lesser known in our midst, learning to appreciate great poetry relationally.
