4.9/5 (18022 ratings)

Description:In our nuclear age, should poetry confront or evade political issues? According to Des Pres, it is precisely poetry, with its life-sustaining power, that can save us from the crush of external events. Author of The Survivors: An Anatomy of Life in the Death Camps (1976), Des Pres locates that vital connection between poetry and action in the bardic tradition that allowed poets to summon their tribe, to curse and to praise, and finally to arouse to political revolt. He further demonstrates that the tradition continues in works by Yeats in Ireland, Brecht in Germany, Breytenbach in South Africa, and Adrienne Rich and Thomas McGrath in America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
