Modernist Alchemy by Timothy Materer, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters

Modernist Alchemy takes a close look at the work of twentieth-century poets whose use of the occult constitutes a recovery of discarded beliefs and modes of thought: Yeats and Plath try to dismiss conventional religion, Hughes captures a sense of adventure, H. D. seeks to liberate repressed concepts, while Duncan and Merrill hunt for a lost understanding of sexual identity which will allow for androgyny and homosexuality. | Modernist Alchemy by Timothy Materer, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters
