Description
Poetry has often been considered an irrational genre, yet Vendler argues that all poets of value are thinkers. The four poets taken up in this volume-Pope, Whitman, Dickinson, and Yeats-come from three centuries and three nations, and their styles of thinking are characteristically idiosyncratic.
