Nick Piombino and poetry's functions
 

Bernstein 77: "Piombino, in his essays, makes a sustained attempt / to chart the psychic dynamics at work in / reading & writing poetry; because he does not / concentrate on aesthetic effect or formal process / as ends in themselves, his investigations insist / on a rethinking of the nature & function of the poetic / process, acutely reviving the sense / that poetry has functions"
