In Studies in Poetry, J.M. Beach traces the history of poetry and poetic philosophy in the West. Beach provides a comprehensive, yet selective look into the more "radical" figures of English and American literature, and a topical exploration of Western Poetic Theory, centered on a humanistic mysticism—specifically on romantic theories of the mind and subjectivity. This book will give students a generalized, yet relevantly contemporary definition of "poetry," through an in-depth exploration of several poet's major works and themes.
J.M. Beach has taught in the Center for Writing and Learning, the Department of English, and the Department of Philosophy at Oregon State University. He is pursuing a Ph.D. in Education from Oregon State University, and has served as Site Director and Site Leader of the STARS (United Way, Boys & Girls Club, and the City of Corvallis) After School Program.
