His essays, drawn from more than twenty years of literary criticism, explore how the staying power of a poet's work and the likelihood of its enjoying a lasting identification with its creator depend on the skilled manipulation of poetic technique. Considering how poetry can manifest a vividly conceived world of feeling and sensation, Rogoff maintains that we understand and evaluate poets by the sum of their most persuasive inventive strategies, including their attention to form. The poet, finally, constructs a uniquely imagined universe and thus, in the minds of readers, becomes the poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA model of practical criticism, intended for enthusiasts at all levels, \u003ci\u003eBecoming Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e demystifies how poetry operates on its audience to create a virtual, affective experience of lasting power and value.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Rogoff \u003c\/b\u003ehas published seven books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eLoving in Truth: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
