The Art of Recklessness: Poetry as Assertive Force and Contradiction by Dean Young

4.0

This is one crazy poetics/criticism book.
Young lost me a few times, but it was still a lot of fun to read. I underlined quite a bit. I loved the discussion on Hamlet. If you're really, really into poetry, I'd pick this up. It's not very long, but it's kind of all over the place. It's dense, it's certainly passionate and reckless (for lack of a better word).
