By Randy Malamud

Subjects: American poetry, Animals, Views on animals, Criticism and interpretation, Animals in literature, History and criticism, Human-animal relationships in literature, English poetry

Description: "This book offers a new paradigm for reading animals in literature and addresses how human culture views animals in poetry. Part one sets up a theoretical overview and posits some aesthetic and ethical ideals for transposing animals into art, while part two presents a more focused practical application of these ideals in one strain of animal poetry (as seen in the works of Marianne Moore, Jose Emilio Pacheco, Gary Snyder, Pattiann Rogers, and others)."--BOOK JACKET.
