Zusatztext Steven Gould Axelrod and Craig Svonkin sought “a whale of a book.” Well, harpoon one they have, and no harm done. They right this vessel, sail the main of contemporary American poetry, and provision all with rich chowder. The crew within is as diverse, though better starred, than any that ever allegorized the decks of a Pequod. Here, surely, is a mast-head from which to survey our present literary horizons. Is this book indispensable? Reader, it is more. Climb aboard. Informationen zum Autor Craig Svonkin is Assistant Professor of English at Metropolitan State University of Denver, USA.
