Thomas Fink

Possessing a singular musical gift, David Shapiro problematizes self and culture and challenges conventional notions of fixed and commodified identity in work that discovers and resists meaning. This title features essays that illuminate a useful range of Shapiro's major texts through diverse critical approaches.

David Shapiro's Poetry and Poetics

"Burning Interiors"

Spare, airy, exacting poems whose quietness is often at an ironic counterpoint to their strident leftist politics.

The Body Ghost

A brilliant embodiment of America’s conflicted soul, with the intensity of Creeley and the political fire of Ginsberg.
