Our Secret Discipline

Autor Helen Vendler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2007
According to Yeats, rhetoric is the expression of one’s quarrels with others, while poetry is the expression (and sometimes the resolution) of one’s quarrel with oneself. This is where Vendler begins in Our Secret Discipline. Through exquisite attention to outer and inner forms, Vendler explores the most inventive reaches of the poet's mind.

Recenzii

...revelatory in its approach...
This is a wonderful-probably the best-book for the Yeatsian enthusiast to take down and dip into, and a fitting monument to Vendler's performances on Yeats which have been an inspiration to listeners over the years.
It's high time such a book existed, and the conditions have been ripe for a while for a re-examination of Yeats's prosody and its relation to poetic thinking.
