Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shadowy Thresholds
These revolts are not surprising, and are often of value. What is surprising is that so many fail to see that the measure of our artistic sincerity and intelligence is not determined by revolt alone, but by the things to which we revolt and by what we are willing to destroy. Art may depend on ex asperation rather than inspiration to break its bonds, but exasperation is not inspiration. Only those extremists who take it to be so will ask us to believe that any prose dullness or absurdity artic ulated into lines and strung unlyrically before us makes something wholly important in poetry something no permanent standards can judge.
