| Abstract
|
:
|
True-Love is the fulfillment of revered poet-critic Allen Grossman's long service to poetry in the interests of humanity. Poetry's singular mission is to bind love and truth together-love that desires the beloved's continued life, knotted with the truth of life's contingency-to help make us more present to each other. In the spirit of Blake's vow of "mental fight," Grossman contends with challenges to the validity of the poetic imagination, from Adorno's maxim "No poetry after Auschwitz," to the claims of religious authority upon truth, and the ultimate challenge posed by the fact of death it.
