SPECIAL FEATURES:
Poetry and Truth: nineteen leading poets and critics respond
to Fulcrum’s questionnaire regarding the nature of poetry
(What is and what isn't poetry? What is the most important
poetry? What is the relationship between poetry and truth?
How does poetry relate to the human condition? Can there be a
meaningful philosophy of poetry? Does the fundamental nature
of poetry change over time? Is there one "poetry" or are
there "poetries"? What makes a genuinely great poem? What is
the relationship between tradition and innovation in poetry?
Is a particular poetic method ("lyricist," "formalist," "free
verse," "experimental," etc.) preferable? Are there deep
associations between poetics and politics? What fundamental
misconceptions about poetry annoy you most?) + six essays
Poems and letters by Landis Everson
