The Tenth Muse was enormously well-received when first published by
Harvard University Press in 1975, and has been deemed a classic
work. It was out of print for several years and then re- issued by
Cambrirdge in this 1992 edition. In it Albert Gelpi asks hard
questions about how poetry can take on for itself the problems of
shaping American identities and argues that the conditions of
American life and culture have pushed our major poets into a debate
between intellect and passion. Gelpi provides thorough readings of
major American poets from Bradstreet and Taylor up to the
modernists, often using contemporary poets (Rich, Ginsberg, Duncan)
as frames for those predecessors.
