Contemporary Poetry and Postmodernism

Booknews

Confronts the conflict between mainstream poetry and forms of modernist poetry which have had to survive outside the establishment. Discusses the postmodern concepts of the dialogic and estrangement, as used by various poets and authors, to show how the mainstream has been infiltrated by moderninst and postmodernist poetic techniques. Gregson is a poet himself as well as a lecturer in English and linguistics at the U. of Wales, Bangor. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
