Tapper treats \u003cem\u003eVoyages, The Wine Merchant\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePossessions\u003c\/em\u003e as a triptych of erotic poems in which Crane plays out alternative resolutions to the dialectic between purity and defilement, a conceptual dynamic which Tapper argues is central to both Crane's poetics of difficulty and his representations of homosexual desire. Tapper concentrates on the three sections of \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e, most concerned with recuperating animality: 'National Winter Garden,' 'The Dance,' and 'Cape Hatteras.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234595524952,"sku":"9781138011618","price":71.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138011618.jpg?v=1769007620","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/machine-that-sings","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
