Map of Misreading
"The sincerity of this book...the sheer care for poetry which governs both this work and its predecessor, is unmistakable and most impressive."--The New York Review of Books
A companion volume to "The Anxiety of Influence", this book offers instructions in how to read a poem. It considers the map of misreading drawn by contemporary poets such as Ann Carson and Henri Cole, and shows how modern texts relate to previous texts, and contribute to the literary legacy of their predecessors.

"Bloom is the most rare of critics. He has what seems to be a totally detailed command of English poetry and its scholarship.... Because of his entirely gripping theoretical passion his readings are almost unparalleled in skill and thematic nuance."--The New York Times Book Review
