From the rear cover
The Origins of Free Verse seeks to establish a consensus on the nature of free verse, culled from the comments and theories of, among others, Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Yvor Winters, and Hugh Kenner. Good free verse, argues Kirby-Smith, arises as a reaction to a well-established set of conventions, a reaction that achieves its effects by working contrapuntally against or outside the realm of convention. Likewise, The Origins of Free Verse goes against the conventions of existing poetic scholarship, offering an encompassing yet fresh - and certainly controversial - literary history of free verse.
