Description
This study by Neil Corcoran explores the kinds of responsibility that modern lyric poetry takes on, or subjects itself to, including social, cultural, political, aesthetic, and personal responsibilities. It examines the work of poets from Britain, Ireland, America, and beyond.
Corcoran considers how poets like Owen, Yeats, Heaney, and Dylan navigate complex relationships between their art and their world, often using forms of elegy to express their thoughts on politics, culture, and identity. The book also looks at the ways in which poetry intersects with other art forms.
Through close readings of key poems and poets, Corcoran argues that exemplary modern lyric poetry can resist various forms of accommodation or appropriation, instead using its strategies of opposition to create a unique voice and vision.
