Over more than a decade, from 2005 to 2019, I published twenty-four essays on poetry and poetics. Many of them are behind a paywall. The essays available here are representative of my commitment as a critic, which was to show how poetry contributes to the therapeutic project of culture broadly understood — thinking about how to help people live more meaningfully and more humanely.<\/p>\n
Ten of the essays are open-access and available on this site. The bibliography is below:<\/p>\n
