Dickinson's Nerves, Frost's Woods Poetry in the Shadow of the Past by William Logan

Dickinson's Nerves, Frost's Woods Poetry in the Shadow of the Past by William Logan a book published by Columbia University Press is an enchanting reality containing a series of essays, eight in total, where some of the most beloved poems of very famous poets and poems are analyzed with particular acumen by the author, trying to read them with the lenses of the past, the period that they were written in, including also the existential  "phases" that the various creatives were living with detailed accounts of their lives. Poets taken in consideration: Pound, Shakespeare, Shelley, Frost, Dickinson and many more.
The book is technical in the explanation of poems, but absolutely interesting, written magnificently well.  If you love poetry, this book is for you.

For scholars, students, teachers and people in love for poetry.

I thank Columbia University Press for the physical copy of this book.
