This provocative volume explores the relationship between poetry and criticism, arguing that the two are inextricably linked and that true poetry can only emerge from a critical engagement with life and language. Drawing on examples from classical Chinese poetry as well as Victorian literature, Davis offers a fresh perspective on the role of the poet as both creator and critic.
