Title
History and the Poetic Construct : The Modernism of A.M. Klein
Abstract
The author sets out to understand something of the forces impeding Montreal poet A.M. Klein's attempt to maintain a modern position — in effect, to understand why it is so difficult for him to be modern even at the height of his modernity. But in order to understand this powerful dynamic as it informs Klein's poetry, she points out, one must first understand something of the struggle of modern poetry at large to sustain itself in the face of its most powerful opponent, the unfolding of modern history. The author examines how the British poet Ezra Pound influenced Klein's poetic response to history.
