Abstract

In this essay, the author compares and contrasts the literary theories of Canadian poets and literary scholars Jan Zwicky and Anne Carson, focusing particularly on the books "Lyric Philosophy" and "Wisdom & Metaphor" by Zwicky as well as Carson's "Eros the Bittersweet." It explores the competing approaches to defining and using the term lyric within their literary criticisms.
