520 1 $a"Jay Parini knows that poetry doesn't matter to most people. But he also recognizes this as a serious problem, which he tackles in this focused and passionate book about the nature of poetry and its uses in the world. At a time when we need it most, poetry is a cultural gift that should be turned to for consolation, entertainment, and inspiration." "Drawing on a wide range of poets and writers and a forty-year habit of reading poetry daily, Parini turns to poetry for a respite from our clamorous culture. Ever since Plato urged that they be kicked out of his ideal republic, poets have been on the run. Parini looks at the traditional defenses of poetry written over the centuries, from ancient times to the present."--BOOK JACKET.
