"When I call poetry a form of partiality," writes Heather McHugh,
"I mean its economies operate by powers of intimation: glimmering
and glints, rather than exhaustible sums. It is a broken language
from the beginning, brimming with non-words: all that white welled
up to keep the line from surrendering to the margin; all that
quiet, to keep the musics marked." In Broken English, McHugh
applies her poetic sensibility and formidable critical insight to
topics ranging from the poetry of Valery and Rilke to ancient Greek
drama and Yoruba folk songs, offering intense, passionate, highly
personal readings that are informed and unified by her concern for
the relationships among language, culture, and poetry.
