New
Formalist Poets of the American West
By April Lindner
Western
Writers Series, Boise State University, 2001.
April
Lindner's thought-provoking and revisionist study argues that
the roots of New Formalism lie more in West Coast Populism than
in East Coast academic traditions. Lindner examines both general
literary issues and provides detailed analysis of West Coast writers
like Gioia, Mark Jarman, Kim Addonizio, Robert McDowell, and Chryss
Yost. Click here
