Politics and Form in Postmodern Poetry

More about the book

It explores the complexities of poetic expression and the political implications of various styles, suggesting that the relationship between form and political stance is more nuanced than previously thought. Through this analysis, the book invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of poetry and its potential for political engagement.
