Now in <I>Poetry As Insurgent Art</I>, he offers, in prose, his primer of what poetry is, could be, should be. The result is by turns tender and furious, personal and political. If you are a reader of poetry, find out what is missing from the usual fare you are served; if you are a poet, read at your own risk&#151;you will never again look at your role in the same way. 793853 1 9 2007 Poetry As Insurgent Art total:95|5:27|4:37|3:27|2:4|1:0| 95 372 147 20 4 1 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 18:37:16 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 08:13:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 20:04:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 20:17:37 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 13 05:45:19 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 05:54:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Feb 17 06:43:49 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 06:50:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Dec 29 14:32:18 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 31 21:56:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jul 19 22:22:54 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 22:25:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 00:36:21 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 13:55:29 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Dec 13 09:27:44 -0800 2007 Sun Mar 16 07:17:34 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 19:32:42 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 19:34:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 23 20:29:25 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 20:30:39 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 12:17:54 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 12:26:10 -0800 2008
