Book Synopsis
Why do we need new art? How free is the artist in making? And why is the artist, and particularly the poet, a figure of freedom in Western culture? This book explores and celebrates the freedom of artists who, working under finite conditions, make considered choices and shape surprising consequences.

Trade Review
"Susan Stewart is an investigator of linguistic nuance and a new metaphysics, par excellence.... I believe she is one of the finest poets of the last fifty years." -John Kinsella, Salt Magazine "Stewart's meditations on the history of poetry and the poetic are in themselves an original contribution to the philosophy of culture." -Hayden White, author of Figural Realism"
