Reviews

What if one’s experience were merely personal––unshared, incoherent, and sealed off from meaningful engagements with things? Joshua Adams shows how major modernist poets have responded to this all too natural skeptical fear by producing shareable, intense animations of experience, thus achieving poetry in the service of human life. * Richard Eldridge, Charles and Harriett Cox McDowell Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Swarthmore College, USA *
