What is a poet? : essays from the Eleventh Alabama Symposium on English and American Literature

Product Description This book discusses the extent of distrust and the extent of the misunderstandings that exist in the poetry world. Review "What is a Poet? is very revealing in a way that no other book is. It is an important service. I think we all need to know the extent of distrust, the extent of the misunderstandings that are rampant in the poetry world. The book is not only definitive, but it will initiate a dialogue that will continue." —Richard Jackson, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Editor, The Poetry Miscellany About the Author Hank Lazer is associate provost for academic affairs at The University of Alabama, and author of the e-chapbook First Portions and the collection Lyric & Spirit: Selected Essays, 1996-2008.
