Robert Frost and a Poetics of Appetite reads Frost's poetry within
a theoretical perspective generated, but not limited by feminist
analysis, and it evaluates Frost's persistent feminising of poetic
language in ways that he typically dramatises as both erotic and
humiliating. Kearns examines how Frost's dual and potentially
conflicting obligations - to be manly and to be a poet - inform his
entire poetics. Rather than approaching Frost's poetry with the
methods and assumptions of deconstruction in mind, this book finds
that Frost himself forces a deconstructive reading: his unstable
ironies, his complexities and his manipulations of form are
designed precisely to produce the conviction that any suggestion of
significance is arbitrary and personal. The study unites biography,
psychology and feminism in creating an adept and imaginative
instrument of interpretation.
