Organized around the question of \"sensibility\"--with its various social, philosophical, and aesthetic connotations--the collection presents a sequence of related essays exploring both resonances and dissonances in the traditions of modern and contemporary poetry. Although Tobin surveys a broad spectrum of works--ranging from John Donne and Emily Dickinson to writers from the twenty-first century such as Mark Doty, Louise Glück, and Carl Phillips--his emphasis remains on details of poetic practice, technique, metaphysical outlook, and artistic aspiration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat most informs these essays is Tobin's own practice as a poet, his own sensibility, which is at once eclectic and yet very much calibrated to matters of what one theologian termed \"ultimate concern.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Odeon \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an incisive foray into the state of the art of poetry in our time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Tobin\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, editor, translator, and essayist whose work has been named among the best books of the year by the\u003ci\u003e New York Times. \u003c\/i\u003eHis honors include the Discovery\/\u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e Award, the Robert Penn Warren Award, the Katharine Bakeless Nason Prize, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45521302192230,"sku":"9780807185193","price":65.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/iYUE110vQe9780807185193.webp?v=1776480635","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-odeon-essays-on-poetry-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
