H. L. Hix invited many of the most influential voices in contemporary poetics to respond to two well-known statements about poetry: W.H. Auden's "Poetry makes nothing happen," composed at the beginning of World War 2, and Theodor Adorno's "To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric," written in the aftermath of the Holocaust. The poets were free to interpret the statements in whatever way they choose and then react to them. Counterclaims gathers together those responses: incisive, varied, but always interesting. They reveal as much about the aesthetics of the individual poets as they do about the nature and function of poetry in our times. Book jacket.
