A book to reread on poetry is Federico García Lorca, Granada, paraíso cerrado y otras páginas granadinas, ed., intro., and notes by Enrique Martínez López (Granada: Miguel Sánchez, 1989).
Is poetry private or public, marginal or central, esoteric or communicative – expressive? Is poetic speech different from ordinary speech, or is ordinary speech actually closer to poetry than it is to measured prose?
John Palatella’s essay Difficult Loves speaks provocatively to these questions as it discusses four books: Dana Gioia’s Disappearing Ink: Poetry at the End of Print Culture (Graywolf), James Longenbach’s The Resistance to Poetry (Chicago), Adam Zagajewski’s A Defense of Ardor (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), and Carl Phillips’ Coin of the Realm: Essays on the Life and Art of Poetry (Graywolf).
