During a week in January 1981, poets Allen Grossman and Mark
Halliday met for a series of conversations exploring "the meanings
for us as poets arising from the difference between us--
differences of generation and education as well as of temperament
and poetic style." The result was "Against Our Vanishing", which
Charles Altieri called " the best in contemporary poetic thinking."
"The Sighted Singer: Two Works on Poetry for Readers and
Writers" makes available a revised and significantly expanded
version of "Against Our Vanishing" and includes Grossman's recent
treatise "Summa Lyrica: A Primer of the Commonplaces in the
Speculative Poetics". This combined edition provides a
sophisticated yet accessible discussion-- across generations-- of
"the fundamental discourse of poetic structure". For students and
teachers, for writers and readers, "The Sighted Singer" is a
splendid introduction to both the tradition of poetry and its
contemporary practice.
