Written with the same probing, analytic control that has long distinguished her poetry, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Originality \u003c\/i\u003eis Gl ck's second book of essays--her first, \u003ci\u003eProofs and Theories\u003c\/i\u003e, won the 1993 PEN\/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. Gl ck's moving and disabusing lyricism is on full display in this decisive new collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From its opening pages, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Originality\u003c\/i\u003e forces readers to consider contemporary poetry and its demigods in radical, unconsoling, and ultimately very productive ways. Determined to wrest ample, often contradictory meaning from our current literary discourse, Gl ck comprehends and destabilizes notions of \"narcissism\" and \"genius\" that are unique to the American literary climate. This includes erudite analyses of the poets who have interested her throughout her own career, such as Rilke, Pinsky, Chiasson, and Dobyns, and introductions to the first books of poets like Dana Levin, Peter Streckfus, Spencer Reece, and Richard Siken. Forceful, revealing, challenging, and instructive, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Originality\u003c\/i\u003e is a seminal critical achievement.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouise Glück\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than a dozen books of poems and a collection of essays.
