To explain why a reader might prefer one kind of poem to another, this book analyzes - beyond the political and intellectual significance of poems - the musicality of both lyric poetry and popular song, including that of Tin Pan Alley and doo-wop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Robert von Hallberg is a careful, deep, and often counterintuitive thinker about poetry in general and about particular strands of modern poetry: his originality makes him impossible to place (or write off) as a partisan of a given school, and his consistent attention to the words on the page means there's scarcely a reading in Lyric Powers that doesn't say something valuable. He's a pleasure to read.\" - Stephen Burt, Harvard University\"","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036636873047,"sku":"9780226865003","price":31.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226865003.jpg?v=1750932492","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lyric-powers-9780226865003","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
