To find a personal style is, for a writer, to become adult; and to write one's first "perfect" poem--a poem that wholly and successfully embodies that style--is to come of age as a poet. By looking at the first perfect poems composed by Milton, Keats, Eliot, and Plath, Vendler offers rare insight into this mysterious process.
