Katy Evans-Bush combines the intellectual rigour of the literary critic with the dynamism of a seasoned traveller in the blogosphere. These essays place poetry at the heart of contemporary culture, meeting at the borders it shares with music, politics and sculpture. She writes about art and life in a way that is generous, witty and incisive.<\/p>\n<p><i>Contents<\/i><br \/>\nThe Hidden Life of Poets<br \/>\nThe Poem is a Question: Keats, Negative Capability and Us<br \/>\nJames Merrill: Formal Radical<br \/>\nCompendium in Time<br \/>\nAn Earnest Chestnut for Remembrance Day<br \/>\nThe Search for Eloise Robinson<br \/>\nA Hell of an Underwriter: Three Insurance Men with a Difference<br \/>\nBecause London Is Still a Kaleidoscope<br \/>\nThere\u2019s No Place Like Home: The Poetry of Dorothy Molloy<br \/>\nMen\u2019s Troubles: Seidel, Ashbery &amp; Elliott<br \/>\nTo Hull and Braque: Marching to the Drumbeats<br \/>\nThese Fragments We Have Shored Against Our Ruin<br \/>\nGifts of Earth: Letters of Ted Hughes<br \/>\nThe Dylan Thomas Question<br \/>\nMan of Jazz and Conscience: MacNeice\u2019s Autumn Journal<br \/>\nBeauty and Meaning: Free the Word!<br \/>\nBy the Light of the Silvery Moon: Dowson, Schoenberg and the Birth<br \/>\nof Modernism<br \/>\nNow I\u2019m a Real Boy: Poetry\u2019s Plagiarism Problem<br \/>\nThe Line<br \/>\nMy Life in Typewriters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Typewriters, plagiarism and the poetic line are just three of the subjects under the spotlight in this book of essays by much-loved literary blogger Katy Evans-Bush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,33,200],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10180"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10180"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17093,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10180\/revisions\/17093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
