âIf grown-ups donât read poetryâ, writes poet and critic Carmine Starnino, âitâs not because they have a bone to pick with poets. The truth is even more intolerable: they prefer not to. . . Theyâre just not that into us.â In his latest collection of critical essays, Starnino reports on the state of poetry with his usual sleeves-rolled-up approach to literary criticism which synthesizes broad observation with close reading. Engaging both icons (Atwood, Birney, McKay, Moritz, bpNichol) and lesser-knowns (James Denoon, Anne Szumigalski, Peter Trower), Starnino writes with the style, wit and intensity of a poet-critic, offering confident, intelligent candour where we have too often settled for âbland, much-recycled truismsâ.
