"There are few critics we are drawn to not only for insight into their particular enthusiasm of the moment but also for the sheer joy of watching their intelligence worry this text or that. . . . For our area, Marjorie Perloff is quickly joining [these] ranks. . . . "The Dance of the Intellect" continues the project begun by Perloff in "The Poetics of Indeterminacy, "examination of the 'other' (dare we yet say primary) tradition in American poetry." --Lee Bartlett, "American Literary Scholarship"
Must poetic form be, as Yeats demanded, "full, sphere-like, single", or can it accommodate the "impurities" Yeats and his Modernist generation found so problematic? Sixty years later, these are still open questions, questions to which Marjorie Perloff addresses herself in the essays collected here. The first group of essays deals with Pound's own poetics as that poetics related to two of his great contemporaries, Stevens and Joyce, as well as to the visual arts of his day. The second group deals with the more technical aspects of verse and prose. In the last four essays, Perloff takes up broader issues, including the current pessimism about the state of poetry, and the work of experimental poets and conceptual poets.
