The reacher lives in a large scope of lively realities, their objectivities compounded by layering speculations. This book has a dazzling number of magnificent poems.”\u003cbr\u003e“The American Fantasies gives a full view of James Schevill's poetic range. In a sense, he is a thoroughly modern, cosmopolitan, intellectually cultivated Edgar Lee Masters — very humane and essentially our most straightforward poet. He has a scholar's appetite for genuine knowledge, a playwright's feeling for vigorous detail illuminating personalities and situations, and a lyric poet's gift for catching emotional essences and nuances. And he is a grown up man writing about things that matter, though never in a contrivedly attitudinizing or boring discursive way.”","brand":"MJ - Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038187618647,"sku":"9780804003940","price":27.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804003940.jpg?v=1750939408","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/american-fantasies-9780804003940","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
