Wallace-Crabbe, one of Australia's most respected poet-critics, argues with clarity and conviction that modern poetry moves along two distinct trajectories — each illuminating different aspects of the human condition. With a tone that is both scholarly and accessible, the work instructs readers on how to read and interpret the competing aesthetics that define the modern poetic landscape. Drawing on a wide range of poets and movements, Wallace-Crabbe illustrates the tensions and dialogues at the heart of contemporary verse, making this an essential read for students, academics, and poetry enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130518347995,"sku":"2026200010792-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/324a6521-2d1c-4154-9ab4-297a48d89d39.png?v=1786586405","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010792-secondhand-toil-spin-two-directions-in-modern-poetry","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
