Title: Pompous and nonsensical.
Product review: This book is presented as a conversation between two poets, but really it's an excuse for Allen Grossman to talk. His tone is condescending and patronizing toward both Halliday and the reader, which instantly makes you dislike the book. Beyond that, the insights that are in the book are vague, not well argued/supported and very abstract. This book does not open you to thinking about poetry, but rather attempts to lecture you on a single viewpoint that's incomprehensible. Save your money and read poets that actually matter.
