Poetry and Antipoetry
A Study of Selected Aspects of Max Jacob's Poetic Style
Samenvatting
Jacob's reputation has traditionally been that of a verbal acrobat. This book is an analysis of the major stylistic devices of his poems and prose poems: puns, parody, and imagery. This beautifully unified study reveals the richness and complexity of Jacob's lyrical style and considerably changes the traditional concept of his poetry.
