Description

Book Synopsis
A collection of case studies examining specific incidents of silence and the impasses it creates in the poetic and academic landscape. It looks at the issue of professionalism, in both poetic practice and the academy, which has become the caretaker of much of modern and contemporary poetry and their competing values.

Trade Review
This book is tantalizing, informed, and insightful; written with appealing geniality (and at times an equally appealing rancor). - Jed Rasula, author of Syncopations: The Stress of Innovation in Contemporary American Poetry
