Abstract

Abstract This review is divided into three sections. The first, ‘Poet-Critics and Criticizing Poets’, considers the accounts of poetry traced in Robert Hass’s A Little Book on Form: An Exploration of the Formal Imagination of Poetry and Don Paterson’s The Poem: Lyric, Sign, Metre. The second section, ‘(Dis)embodied Sound’, examines the different ways that Peter Robinson and Angela Leighton (themselves both prominent critics and poets) approach sound in poetry in The Sound-Sense of Poetry and Hearing Things: The Work of Sound in Literature, while the third section, ‘Hybrids and Remnants’, explores the eccentric, hybrid forms of prose poetry and ecopoetics, as described in Jane Monson’s essay collection British Prose Poetry: The Poems Without Lines and Margaret Ronda’s monograph Remainders: American Poetry at Nature’s End.
