The contemporary narrative poem : critical crosscurrents

Over the past thirty years, narrative poems have made a comeback against the lyric approach to poetry that has dominated the past century. Drawing on a decade of conferences and critical seminars on the topic, the poet-critics in The Contemporary Narrative Poem examine this resurgence of narrative and the cultural and literary forces motivating it.
