True-Love is the fulfillment of revered poet-critic Allen Grossmanâs long service to poetry in the interests of humanity. Poetryâs singular mission is to bind love and truth togetherâlove that desires the belovedâs continued life, knotted with the truth of lifeâs contingencyâto help make us more present to each other.
In the spirit of Blakeâs vow of âmental fight,â Grossman contends with challenges to the validity of the poetic imagination, from Adornoâs maxim âNo poetry after Auschwitz,â to the claims of religious authority upon truth, and the ultimate challenge posed by the fact of death itself. To these challenges he responds with eloquent and rigorous arguments, drawing on wide resources of learning and his experience as master-poet and teacher. Grossmanâs readings of Wordsworth, Hart Crane, Paul Celan, and others focus on poems that interrogate the real or enact the hard bargains that literary representation demands. True-Love is destined to become an essential book wherever poetry and criticism sustain one another.
