PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Brett Bourbon is Associate Professor of English, University of Dallas, USA.
Brett Bourbon's new book suggests that no theory of poetry can be just about poetry. For him too, the theory of poetry is the theory of life as it is. Everyday Poetics ?is a profoundly serious and moving book, placing poetry alongside our many sublunary dealings and philosophical entanglements. * Miguel Tamen, Professor of Literary Theory, University of Lisbon, Portugal * What do we mean when we say “I love you”? Why do we write? Why do we read? How do poems claim us or, in Brett Bourbon phrase, hold us? Lucid, well made, and always engaging, Everyday Poetics answers such questions in striking and original ways. * Adam Parkes, Professor of English, University of Georgia, USA * The great strength of this book is that it addresses what others neglect: the ways in which aesthetic experience is embedded in ordinary life, in terms that can seem debased by extensive currency. Brett Bourbon’s discussion of literary criticism, lyric poetry, and philosophical discourse about poetry is constantly surprising and always humane. * Robert von Hallberg, Professor of Literature, Claremont McKenna College, USA *
