Visions and Revisions: Of American Poetry"... not revisions but one thoroughgoing and far-reaching revision -- of the course of American poetry through centuries, as commonly understood. It is polemical but good-humored, lightly and racily written but with passion, deeply serious, discerning and timely". -- Donald Davie |
