"Lyric Time "offers a detailed critical reading of a
particularly difficult poet, an analysis of the dominance of
temporal structures and concerns in the body of her poetry, and
finally, an important original contribution to a theory of the
lyric.
Poised between analysis of Emily Dickinson's poetic texts and
theoretical inquiry, "Lyric Time "suggests that the temporal
problems of Dickinson's poems are frequently exaggerations of the
features that distinguish the lyric as a genre. "It is precisely
the distance some of Dickinson's poems go toward the far end of
coherence, precisely the outlandishness of their extremity, that
allows us to see, magnified, the fine workings of more conventional
lyrics," writes Sharon Cameron.
"Lyric Time" is written for the literary audience at
large--Dickinsonians, romanticists, theorists, anyone interested in
American poetry, or in poetry at all, and especially anyone who
admires a risky book that succeeds.
