Book Synopsis
Contends with challenges to the validity of the poetic imagination, from Adorno's maxim 'No poetry after Auschwitz,' to the claims of religious authority upon truth, and the ultimate challenge posed by the fact of death itself.

Trade Review
"The writings of Allen Grossman have a devoted following and are accorded a nearly legendary status by poets and scholars of poetry alike. With True-Love, his readers will have an opportunity to follow the development of his thinking about the contrary forces of violence and beholding at work in all poetic making and reception. This paradoxical and 'bitter logic,' perennially yoking destruction to recognition, is treated in these essays with a depth and rigor that could only come out of the lifetime of thought Grossman has brought to it." - Susan Stewart, Princeton University"
