For certain scholars, poetry should in no way be confused with philosophy. For others, poetry is at the heart of the possibility of thinking itself. In \u003ci\u003eAffirmation of Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, Judith Balso defends the significance of poetry as a necessary practice for thinking. For Balso, if reading poetry properly has become an obscure task, poetry itself still carries with it a power of thinking: the efforts of the poets must continue. In analyzing the affirmation of thought found within the work of such poets as Osip Mandelstam, Wallace Stevens, Alberto Caeiro, and Giacomo Leopardi, Balso reestablishes poetry's place as a site of thought. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Univocal Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595928748183,"sku":"9781937561178","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781937561178.webp?v=1774991742","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/affirmation-of-poetry-9781937561178","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
