Alan Williamson – The Stutter of the Idiom (July 2023)
$5.00
Many poets succeed best in conveying a special perception of things, and giving their styles a unique torque, when they slightly violate the expectations of idiomatic English. Or, in a related strategy, they take a familiar expression and slightly twist, even invert, its meaning. Williamson offers examples of each approach from Berryman, Hughes, Plath, Celan, Frost, and others.
