Over the last ten years, through essays in The New Republic, The
New Yorker, and other magazines, Adam Kirsch-"one of the most
promising young poet-critics in America" (Los Angeles Times)-has
established himself among the most controversial and fearless
critics writing today. Sure to cause heated debate, this collection
of essays surveys the world of contemporary poetry with boldness
and insight, whether Kirsch is scrutinizing the reputation of
popular poets such as Billy Collins and Sharon Olds or admiring the
achievement of writers as different as Derek Walcott, Czeslaw
Milosz, and Frederick Seidel. For readers who want an introduction
to the complex world of contemporary American poetry, from major
figures like Jorie Graham to the most promising poets of the
younger generation, Kirsch offers close readings and bold
judgments. For readers who already know that world, The Modern
Element will offer a surprising and thought-provoking new
perspective.
