Description
Palgrave MacMillan Global Anglophone Poetry Literary Form and Social Critique in Walcott Muldoon de Kok and Nagra 2015 Edition by Omaar Hena
Poetry's relevancy as a tool for social and political change continues to be overlooked in a global context. Looking to writers as diverse as Derek Walcott, Paul Muldoon, and Daljit Nagra, Hena shows that poets throughout the world have reinvigorated older poetic traditions to address political realities and the sweeping pressures of modernity.
