The Prospect of Lyric, edited by Bainard Cowan Reading a great
lyric poem we know that lyric is more than a convention, that it
speaks of an encounter of genuine depth. But what is the terrain of
that encounter? The fourth in the Genres of Literature series
enters into the heart of the lyric experience, with General Editor
Louise Cowan analyzing the lyric impulse, its ontological ground,
and its relation to the life of a culture in her Introduction to
the volume. The following sixteen essays examine key poets and
texts, from Biblical and Greek antiquity through the pinnacles of
the English lyric and on to the modern American and Caribbean
world, ending with a frank critique of the conditions for poetry in
contemporary culture by poet Frederick Turner. Authors include:
Daniel Russ, Karl Maurer, Gregory Roper, Scott F. Crider, Robert
Alexander, Louise Cowan, Anna Priddy, Bernadette Waterman Ward,
Glenn Arbery, Seemee Ali, Robert Scott Dupree, Larry Allums,
Claudia Allums, Mary Di Lucia, Bainard Cowan, and Frederick Turner.
