The most provocative American intellectual contributes her dazzling powers of examination to the best-known poems of the Western tradition and unearths some previously obscure verses that deserve a space in our canon.

Extracto del libro:

Combining close reading with a panoramic breadth of learning, Camille Paglia sharpens our understanding of poems we thought we knew, from Shakespeare to Dickinson to Plath, and makes a case for including in the canon works by Paul Blackburn, Wanda Coleman, Chuck Wachtel, Rochelle Kraut—and even Joni Mitchell. Daring, riveting, and beautifully written, Break, Blow, Burn is a modern classic that excites even seasoned poetry lovers—and continues to create generations of new ones.

The chapter on Sylvia Plath’s ‘Daddy’ will take the top of your head off!

As entertaining as it is dazzingly erudite, Break, Blow, Burn is capable of re-energizing any reader’s engagement with poetry.

I hope a lot of people read this book. . . . There wasn’t a commentary where I didn’t learn something about the poem in question, no matter how familiar the poem was.

It will have students storming the walls of tomorrow’s English departments, mad for poetry again.
