By approaching these crucial issues from an unexpected angle--through a study of the seldom-examined lyric "you"-- i Overheard Voices /i offers new insight into both contemporary lyric and the lyric genre more generally. The book offers detailed readings of Sylvia Plath, James Merrill, Louise Gluck, and Frank Bidart. |
