"Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-three of the World's
Best Poems is destined to become a landmark. In it, America's
premier intellectual provocateur explores and celebrates a series
of great poems of the Western tradition, including some surprising
discoveries of her own. She brings new energy and insight to our
understanding of poems we already know, such as masterpieces by
Shakespeare, Donne, Shelley, Dickinson, Lowell, and Plath. She
leads us to appreciate the artistry of writers with whom we may not
be familiar, such as Chuck Wachtel and Wanda Coleman. And she hails
the songwriter Joni Mitchell as a major contemporary poet.
Daring, erudite, entertaining, and infused throughout with Paglia's
inimitable style and passion, this beautifully written book--and
the dazzling mind behind it--will entice readers to begin or renew
a passionate engagement with poetry.
