✦ Synopsis

This essential guide to modernist poetry enables readers to make sense of a literary movement often regarded as difficult and intimidating.

Considers key techniques employed to orient and disorient the reader, such as diction, rhythm, and allusion
Explores the ideological implications of subject matter and the literary forms and structures of modernist poetry
