The Dancer and the Dance: A Book of Distinctions

Challenging traditional views of poetry, Jack Foley explores the concept of self as a multiplicity of voices, suggesting that this perspective can transform literary criticism and our reading experiences. His scholarly yet accessible approach leads to innovative interpretations of canonical poets like Keats and Yeats, while also engaging with diverse forms such as opera, free jazz, and slam poetry. Foley's provocative insights invite readers to reconsider established norms and embrace a more dynamic understanding of reality and art.
