Abstract

Karl Shapiro and the Great Ordeal
Dupee, F. W. | September 16, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

By now most readers are probably tired of war literature and would like to get basic to literature. In the case of Karl Shapiro, whose new poems were written during the more than two years that he has been on active duty in the Southwest Pacific, it seems impossible not to invoke the war. By what drama of adjustment has he continued writing? The notable thing about "Person, Place, and Thing" was a firmness of mood and singleness of purpose. Its well-written satires on industrial society were not great poetry or even on their way to being that; they were in the best sense "minor."
