Editorial Review:
Product Description:
In OBLIVION, Donald Justice focuses his critical attention on 20th century literary matters. Engaging the battles of present trends and obsessions, he subtly explores the nature of obscurity, sincerity, style, memory, meter, free-verse, and music. OBLIVION closes with generous excerpts from Justice's own notebooks, providing a rare glimpse into the creative process of a writer whom many critics consider a central conscience of the late 20th century.
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
OBLIVION rates five stars for the title essay alone. No, it's not about the fall of Valhalla, although oblivion is a fit battle for Titans, before they too are swallowed up. Rather, it memorializes wonderful poets and writers who have had only glancing recognition and, should they go on writing after a crucial understanding of what they can expect from their works, still find in themselves the joy of pages that shine with blood and a supernal sense of selfworth.
