ISBN-13: 978-1-884419-91-1, ISBN: 1-884419-91-7

"I read the poems of What She Said About Love with a growing sense of their achievement, their expression of a particular and valuable voice. Here is a poet who understands that The act of casting shape from chaos / breeds enemies. That refers to Michaelangelo, but it stands in for the poet generally, and especially one of who has Tony Magistrale's gifts. Poetry is the enemy of bland, boring, mass-produced speech. It is language intensif ..."

Hollywood's Stephen King(1st Edition)
by Tony Magistrale
Hardcover, 256 Pages, Published 2003 by Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN-13: 978-0-312-29320-8, ISBN: 0-312-29320-8

Part of this may be explained in terms of King's own popularity in American culture; he has been, after all, a best-selling writer since the late 1970s. But more interesting is what this cinematic fascination reveals about postmodern American culture. In the first ov ..."

In their well-written introduction to this anthology of critical essays they point out differences between the gothic works of the period they're covering (1970 to about 1995) and the 18th-century gothics: the physical trappings of tunnels, staircases, enclosed spaces, if present at all, a ..."
