  • Product Description

    Americaâ??s most provocative intellectual brings her blazing powers of analysis and appreciation to bear on the great poems of the Western tradition, and on some unexpected discoveries of her own. Combining close reading with a panoramic breadth of learning, Camille Paglia refreshes our understanding of poems we thought we knew, from Shakespeareâ??s â??Sonnet 73â? to Shelleyâ??s â??Ozymandias,â? from Donneâ??s â??The Fleaâ? to Lowellâ??s â??Man and Wife,â? and from Dickinsonâ??s â??Because I Could Not Stop for Deathâ? to Plathâ??s â??Daddy.â?Paglia also introduces us to less-familiar works by Paul Blackburn, Wanda Coleman, Chuck Wachtel, Rochelle Krautâ??and even Joni Mitchell. Daring, riveting, and beautifully written, Break, Blow, Burn will excite even seasoned poetry lovers, and create a generation of new ones.
