Through such means these poets clearly invite their readers to join them in journeys of poetic discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew P. Debicki's is the first detailed stylistic analysis of this generation of poets, and the first to approach their work through the particularly appropriate methods developed in \"reader-response\" criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew P.
