Bernstein never loses his ingenious ability to argue or his consummate attention to detail. Along the way, he offers a wide-ranging critique of literatureOCOs place in the academy, taking on the vexed role of innovation and approaching it from the perspective of both teacher and practitioner.aFrom blues artists to Tin Pan Alley song lyricists to Second Wave modernist poets, "The Attack of the Difficult Poems "sounds both a battle cry and a lament for the task of the language maker and the fate of invention.a"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
