Originally written in 2000 as his Masters thesis, Raymond P.
Hammonds Poetic Amusement has been passed around underground as a
digital file for ten years among those associated with The New York
Quarterly. As provocative today as it was when it was written, what
began as Hammonds observations of the influence of po biz and
writing programs on contemporary American poetry became a timeless
treatise on poetry itself. Using his experience with NYQ and
devouring many literary critics across the ages from the ancient
Greeks to contemporary critics, Hammond examines at once both our
current literary environment and the essence of poetry. In seeking
to answer the questions What is poetry? and Where does poetry come
from? for himself, he encourages readers to ask those questions for
and of themselves as well. Relevant and accessible to readers and
writers of poetry and to those who think they dont know or want to
know what poetry is, Poetic Amusement will anger, elevate and
inspire all those who read it.
