Climate of Opinion: Sigmund Freud in Poetry
Ed. Irene Willis IP Books, 2017 Review by Dante Di Stefano in The Best American Poetry 2019.

Irene Willis has curated a lively and compelling anthology of poetic engagements with Freud and his complicated psychoanalytic and cultural legacies. The anthology begins with the elegy by W.H. Auden, “For Sigmund Freud,” which ends:

Some of the highlights of the anthology Continue reading Review of Climate of Opinion edited by Irene Willis Reviewed by Dante Di Stefano in The Best American Poetry
