All the Rage (Poets On Poetry)
About this book
William Logan has been called the most dangerous poetry critic since Randall Jarrell. All the Rage collects his early critical works, including reviews and verse chronicles, a long essay on Auden's Imagery, an unpublished essay on "The Prejudice of Aesthetics," as well as a recent interview.
Logan was among the first critics to review a generation of poets now in creative maturity, and his comments on the early works of Jorie Graham, Gjertrud Schnackenberg, and the late Amy Clampitt show the enthusiasm of fresh discovery. But he is no respecter of old reputation. His criticism considers virtues with their defects and always speaks its author's mind.
