Peter Robinson's third book of literary criticism presents a sequence
of chapters exploring ways that selves and situations interact and
become imaginatively identified with each other in poems. Readings of
works by Ezra Pound, Basil Bunting, Louis MacNeice, W. S. Graham,
Elizabeth Bishop, Allen Curnow, Charles Tomlinson, Mairi MacInnes, Tom
Raworth, and Roy Fisher share an interest in how poems can be both
attached to, and detached from, the culture, society, and conditions
in which they were written. These studies draw out and underline both
the ubiquity and elusiveness of the self in the situation of the text.
The poems studied here are also discussed as focal points for
relations between readerly and writerly selves and their situations in
and over time.
