More Description
Beginning a new decade, The Search: Eleventh Series reflects a new growth and direction, culminating in greater student involvement than heretofore found in previous editions. For example, former students of the poet Thomas Kinsella and the critic Henry Dan Piper (both distinguished former editors of The Search) contribute not only poems but also a Critical Preface. Thus, The Search: Eleventh Series contains both student poetry and student criticism of that poetry. In addition, the current Faculty Editor of The Search has relied heavily on a Student Editorial Board to select and edit poems.
Strikingly varied, distinctly outlined, and professionally crafted, the poems in this volume mirror the profile of current literary movements. The poetic concerns range from subtle coloring to slashed outlining--but always with concern for form and shape. The volume holds rewards for the reader who finds simple pleasure in reading fresh verse, and for the student of American Letters on the lookout for prophetic clues to future literary directions.
