Description

The Embattled Lyric Essays and Conversations in Poetics and Anthropology by Nathaniel Tarn. This collection brings together two main subjects: the attitudes of selected poets to the "primitive" and the archaic, studied from an anthropologist's viewpoint; and a model of the processes whereby poetry is produced and received. The book offers a unique insight into the author's own career as both poet and anthropologist, revealing how his experiences shaped his work. The essays are complemented by a substantial interview, which serves as an introduction to the book and provides a deeper understanding of Tarn's theoretical work. This comprehensive collection is notable for its lack of equivalent works in the field, making it a valuable resource for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike.
