Description

Rubin shows how the sites and practices of reciting poetry influenced American readers’ lives and helped them to find meaning in a poet’s words. By blurring boundaries between “high” and “popular” poetry, and between modern and traditional, Rubin reveals a fuller, more democratic way of studying our poetic language and ourselves.
