false 1206768 1 Stanley Plumly is one of his generation's most important poets. He was born in Barnesville, Ohio, in 1939, and grew up in the lumber and farming regions of Virginia and Ohio. Writing in the Atlantic, Peter Davidson said of his work, "Plumly's rich, dense poems give off a special fragrance, the incense of the English Romantic movement mingling with the forest odors from the Old Northwest Territory between the Mississippi, the Ohio, and the Great Lakes." <P>This volume collects fifteen of Plumly's [previously published] essays on poetry and art, including the seminal "Chapter and Verse," "Sentimental Forms," and "The Abrupt Edge." Meditating on poems by Keats, Stevens, James Wright, Plath, and Matthews, on Emily Brönte's prose, and paintings by Whistler, Plumly returns again and again to essential matters: the impulses, occasions, and places out of which art arises and the forms by which imagination gives it shape. 1195120 17 12 2003 Argument & Song: Sources & Silences in Poetry total:7|5:4|4:2|3:1| 7 31 13 0 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 17:26:11 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 17:26:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 09:52:41 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 09:52:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 24 10:48:26 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 10:50:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 12 23:47:32 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 23:47:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 11:00:31 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 11:00:31 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 27 18:28:29 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 18:28:29 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 21 10:59:17 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 10:59:17 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 21 00:58:56 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 21 00:59:04 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Dec 05 21:20:10 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 21:20:10 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 10 15:55:53 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 15:55:53 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Wed Aug 08 13:00:58 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 08 13:00:58 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Aug 07 20:20:12 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 20:20:12 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Jul 19 10:34:36 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 19 10:34:36 -0700 2007
