| Description: |
Comic poetry is serious stuff, combining incongruity, satire and psychological effects to provide us a brief victory over reason that could help us save ourselves, if not the world. Taking a theoretical perspective, this book champions the literary movement of American comic poetry, providing historical context and exploring the work of such writers as Denise Duhamel, Campbell McGrath, Billy Collins, Thomas Lux and Tony Hoagland. The techniques of these poets are examined to reveal how they make us laugh while addressing important social concerns. |
