Summary:

This book confronts the conflict between 'mainstream' poetry and forms of modernist poetry which have had to survive outside the establishment. The first section uses the concept of the 'dialogic' to show how the mainstream has evolved a vivid poetry that multiplies voices and perspectives, drawing on resources from the novel alongside those of poetry.
