- Summary:
- "Bodies on the Line offers the first, sustained study of the poetry reading in its most formative period: the 1960s. Raphael Allison closely examines a vast archive of audio recordings of several key postwar American poets to explore the social and literary context of the sixties poetry reading, which is characterized by two vastly differing styles of performance: the humanist and the skeptical strain"-- Provided by publisher.
