What if the primary relationship in a poet's \u003ci\u003eœuvre\u003c\/i\u003e is actually between the first and last text, with those two texts sharing a compelling private language? What if, read separately from the other work, the first and last books reveal some new phenomenon about both the struggles and the achievement of the poet? \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on phenomenological and intertextual theories from Ladislaus Boros, Julia Kristeva, Theodor Adorno, and Peter Galison, \u003ci\u003ePoets' First and Last Books in Dialogue\u003c\/i\u003e examines the relevant texts of Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Anne Sexton, Thom Gunn, Sylvia Plath, and Ted Hughes. In each of these poets' first books, Thomas Simmons examines both the evidence of some new phenomenon and a limit or unsolved problem that finds its resolution only in a specific conversation with the final text.","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039537267031,"sku":"9781433114892","price":56.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781433114892.jpg?v=1750944004","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/poets-first-and-last-books-in-dialogue-9781433114892","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
