Riassunto

“It is difficult / to get the news from poems / yet men die miserably every day / for lack / of what is found there”, as the poet William Carlos Williams memorably declared. Matthew Hofer examines, through a multilayered literary critique of interwar modernist poetry, what it might mean to get the news, and more, from a poet.
