Trudy Lewis, University of Missouri " With the patient skill of an engaging storyteller, Sara Rath brings to life the charm of northern Wisconsin.

Reseña del editor:

How much did making it new have to do with making it? For the four outsider poets considered here, the connection was everything. Both a social history of literary ambition in America in the 1950s and 1960s and a collective literary biography, this is an account of postwar poetry underground.
