5.0 out of 5 starsDelightful
By transponder on July 15, 2014
Format: Hardcover
To read a first-class mind, slicing and dicing and analysing the creative output of our times, is really a pleasure. I've bought all the Logan books of criticism and have enjoyed them all.

5.0 out of 5 starsLogan one of the few
By moby pablo on August 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Logan is a breath of fresh air on the american poetry scene. He dares to be critical of what- in its major venues- such as Poetry Mag, the New Yorker, APR, etc. etc.- a vapid, anemic, acadeemic scene where everyone is scratching each others bax. The Writers Almanac Garrison Keillor) brings poem after poem that is actually prose- with no depth- no connection to emotion,
Incomprehensible writers like John Asbery are lauded- but the "emperor has no clothes".
There are poets living deserving of praise- such as Robert Bly and Gary Snyder and Alice Walker and Coleman Barks- but pulitzers go to a Rae Armantrout? a Mary Oliver (actually- I don't mind ms oliver and her nature pomes).
It's a sad situation- and thankfully- some one like Logan tries to set it aright. His essays are spot on- and even when taking on the "beloveds"- like Wallace Stevens- he is refreshing.
Many universities have writing seminars churning out "star" after "star"- check out the now well regarded names in 20- years; it's a farce.
Let me send you my manifesto on poetry- (if you dare).
We need poetry w meaning. rythm, etc.- or at least editors who have some recognition of quality.
Of course if you have to put out a poem every day- or so many poems in yr mag evey quarter- do you think you will get many Emilies???? Part of the problem is the marketing department?
