Wounded Fiction: Modern Poetry and Deconstruction

By Joseph Adamson

Book Overview

This book, first published in 1988, does not concern the theory of poetry so much as the poetry of theory: a poetry that theorizes, that has a "view" on things, that thinks. What or what things does poetry think about, and what do we mean by thinking? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining the work of three poets - Wallace Stevens, C sar Vallejo, and Ren Char - and reflects upon the poetry itself. This title will be of interest to students of literature and literary theory.
