Strike anywhere

By Michael Lista

Subjects: Canadian poetry, Poésie américaine, LITERARY CRITICISM, History and criticism, American poetry, Histoire et critique, Poetry, Canadian poetry (English)

Description: As Michael Lista is quick to point out, being a critic can be dangerous for your career. In his collection of essays, Strike Anywhere, he bravely takes on the inherently contradictory nature of artistic expression and tackles the moral and artistic implications of boob tube blockbusters, all while attempting to answer the age-old question: Why does poetry suck?
