Reviews

In probing how Baudelaire's poetry situates us in a field of relations that are infinitely more complex, nuanced, and impactful than that of subject-object dichotomy, Acquisto's incisive study brings to light poetry's transformative power that has us ceaselessly become with the world. * Claire Lyu, Associate Professor of French, University of Virginia, USA *
