Reviews

Carravetta is a tireless explorer of the rhetorical fascinations of language and its struggles to break through into thought. This collection of essays is a battering intellectual whirlwind, storming through Dante and Nietzsche to meet passions seeking voice in our time. * Thomas Harrison, Professor of European and Transcultural Studies, University of California Los Angeles, USA, and author of Of Bridges: A Poetic and Philosophical Account (2021) * Peter Carravetta's Language at the Boundaries is a contemporary Defense of Poetry in the great tradition of the genre. No one in the past 30 years has made a stronger case for the poem and the various poetics and interpretive strategies surrounding it. He ranges from a hermeneutics of mysticism to humanistic criticism, always with the goal of translating his theoretical findings 'into meaningful, effective forms for a broader understanding of human experience.' * John Paul Russo, Professor of English and Chair of the Department of Classics, University of Miami, USA, and author of The Future without a Past: The Humanities in a Technological Society (2005) *
