About this ebook
An outstanding addition to poetry studies portraying the work of nine contemporary poets who have managed to make their personal voices resonate with larger historical forces. Stein (English, Bradley U.) takes on the divisions of history and literature by insisting that both are made and interpreted--the essence of storytelling. He illustrates his insights with thoughtful readings of David Wojahn's sonnets on the power of rock-n-roll, James Wright's poems about factory workers, Yusef Komunyakaa's poems of race and death in Vietnam, and other seminal works by Adrienne Rich, Rita Dove, Carolyn Forche, and Philip Levine.
