	Lyric poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyric poetry is a form of poetry that does not attempt to tell a story, as do epic poetry and dramatic poetry, but is of a more personal nature instead.
		Although lyric poetry has a long and close association with love, and European lyric poetry in the vernacular arose with the courtly love tradition, it is not exclusively love poetry.
		Although arguably the most popular form of lyric poetry in the Western tradition is the 14-line sonnet, either in its Petrarchan or its Shakespearean form, lyric poetry appears in a bewildering variety of forms.

	Amittai F. Aviram : Lyric Poetry and Subjectivity
		The notion of "lyric subjectivity" is crucial to Theodor Adorno's account of the power and attractiveness of lyric in his essay, "On Lyric Poetry and Society," and the simultaneous "reflection" and "production" of subjectivity—i.e., bourgeois subjectivity—is the primary function of literature in general according to Marxist critics Pierre Macherey and Étienne Balibar.
		Lyric poetry is imagined to be fundamentally subjective, insofar as it is usually in first person and represents a single, emotive utterance, so the focus is thought to be on the imaginary subject him- or herself.
		The lyric spirit's idiosyncratic opposition to the superior power of material things is a form of reaction to the reification of the world, to the domination of human beings by commodities that has developed since the beginning of the modern era, since the industrial revolution became the dominant force in life.

	Jacket 30 - July 2006 - Dale Smith: The Romantic-Modern Lyric: Poetry for the Non-Poet
		While understandings of the lyric have been divisive and controversial for romantic-modern poetry, (for instance, should the lyric express a stable subjectivity or should it be used to subvert dominate ideologies and political paradigms?), Walker offers a provocative and necessary redefinition.
		Lyric poetry “makes arguments” according to this view, and runs counter to romantic-modern notions that perceive the lyric as a “state of feeling” or “subjectivity” (168).
		While modern critics have been skeptical of this romantic view of the lyric, few have examined it as a means of interrogating specific ideologies because they perceive in the lyric a problem, itself a malignant ideological structure used to “embody a state of subjectivity” (168).

	Writing The Lyric Poem by Billy Jones
		Probably the oldest, certianly the strongest, and definately the backbone of all poetry is the lyric poem.

	Poetry X » Articles » "The Lyric Temper" by Jared Carter
		He is writing about lyric poetry, of course, and about those special moments that may come upon us at any age or at any time, but which become more recognizable to the poet as he or she grows older, and more experienced and knowledgeable—although they are also becoming, in actuarial terms, more rare.
		We are speaking, then, of neither comedy or tragedy, nor their dramatic manifestations in verse, but of the lyric temper in poetry, and of the manner in which the poem is its abode—just as the moth or butterfly, as it seeks to gather up the pollen, finds its momentary resting place in the flower.
		Many is the lyric poet who, having dined the summer long on the ambrosia of the imagination, will eventually be forced by sheer circumstance to drop away from the hive.

	[No title]
		Lyric poetry swells with the excesses of erotic yearning, and like many a modern rock star, more than one of its poets was famous in antiquity for excessive behavior and drunken escapades.
		His lyric successors in Greece extended that custom by honing in on certain specific passages in the traditional tales—sometimes just a moment here or there—seeking the essence which embodies the whole or a comparison encapsulating the entire thing.
		It's obvious that, although the lyric poets sang their verses in public much the same way their oral counterparts had in Homer's age, lyric poetry rose out of a literate culture.

	Hofmannsthal: Lyric Poetry
		It was his lyric poetry that made Hofmannsthal famous, but curiously enough, shortly after the turn of the century, he basically ceased to compose in this form, and instead devoted himself to other genres.
		However, this life force is a pervasive element of Hofmannsthal's lyric poetry.
		When one understands the content of Hofmannsthal's poetry, it may be difficult to come to terms with his close relationship with Stefan George during the time when he published most of his poems.

	On The Lyric As Experimental Possibility
		However, the lyric does not necessarily have a transcendent, unified subject as one of its basic characteristics, and various lyrics and hybrid forms of lyric have already abandoned this notion of the subject.
		Yet it might be argued that the lyric has become a repressed mode of discourse in a avant garde context in which the "poem with history" has been seen often as a necessary corrective to many troubling uses of lyric.
		In such a context, it's important to note that lyric's concern with the "emotional" does not have to be understood by definition as a displacement of the objective material conditions of one's circumstances onto an often hysterical subjectivity.

		Lyric poetry has long been regarded as the intensely private, emotional expression of individuals, powerful precisely because it draws readers into personal worlds.

		In the first major new theory of the lyric to be put forward in decades, Blasing proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse deeply rooted in the mother tongue.

		In Lyric Generations Gabrielle Starr rejects the usual genealogy of lyric poetry in which Romantic poets are thought to have built solely and directly upon the works of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton.
		She argues instead that novelists such as Richardson, Haywood, Behn and others, while drawing upon earlier lyric conventions, ushered in a new language of self-expression and community that profoundly affected the aesthetic goals of lyric poets.
		In addition to novelistic elements in poems and lyric passages in novels, there were deeper currents of mutual development in a complex reimagining of subjectivity and representation.

	Hafez and Persian lyric poetry.
		Traditionally the ghazal had dealt with love and wine, motifs that, in their association with ecstasy and freedom from restraint, lent themselves naturally to the expression of Sufi ideas.
		Hafiz's achievement was to give these conventional subjects a freshness and subtlety that relieves his poetry of any tedious formalism.
		The closest parallels to western poetry may be with Symbolism (though Hafez has wider imagery) and with Postmodernism (though Hafez does make reference to sensed and inward realities).
