3.0 out of 5 stars
early review from the 'most hated man in poetry',
By adead_poet@hotmail.com "adead_poet@hotmail.com" (Beaumont, tx USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: All the Rage (Poets on Poetry) (Paperback)
All the Rage is a collection of early reviews from William Logan, 'the most hated man in poetry.' Though with this collection it is tough to see why. Most of the reviews are fair and pretty accurate reviews. He doesn't get too rough on the poets, though you can see in some of the later reviews where his reputation as a tough reviewer begins. Over all most of the reviews were done in an uninteresting way, but then Logan himself admits that this is all the apprentice reviews that he wants to save. The collection starts off with an essay "The Prejudices of Aesthetics" which is interesting. The center essay is a poorly written essay on Auden ("Auden's Images"). One of the more interesting pieces of the collection is the interview with Logan at the end of the book. Otherwise there are reviews, some written poorly and others well written. As to his reputation as the most hated man in poetry, I'll have to read his later reviews to see where it comes from. This book is interesting as a history of William Logan, but nothing that demands to be on your shelf.
