Two Necessities Of Poetry: Plenitude And Exuberance, Marianne Rogoff
Two Necessities Of Poetry: Plenitude And Exuberance, Marianne Rogoff
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
"Alicia Ostriker advocates a 'poetics of ardor,' one which is not detached, objective, or merely intellectual, instead a poetry that embraces a big-hearted and practical definition of what erotic means. Dancing at the Devil’s Party is mostly about women’s poetry but Ostriker also reminds us of the wide-reaching sensuality of Whitman, Hopkins, Keats, and other sexy male forebears who permitted love to appear in their work."
