Report copyright infringementby Lisa Samuels (Author)The poems in "Paradise for Everyone" transact embrained feeling and transform, via belief, possibilities of reference. Here, and here, the person becomes language, and language is an actor fully fleshed, whose words and bodies name and rearrange the poem's conditions.

Report copyright infringementby Sasha Newborn (Author), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Translator), Dante Alighieri (Author)Dante's putative subject is Beatrice/Love-but the Vita Nuova is really an exercise in poetry: Dante sets the emotional scene for a poem, then he writes the poem, then he explains the poem's structure, part by part.
