In the spirit of Blakes vow of mental fight  Grossman contends with challenges to the validity of the poetic imagination  from Adornos maxim No poetry after Auschwitz  to the claims of religious authority upon truth  and the ultimate challenge posed by the fact of death itself. To these challenges he responds with eloquent and rigorous arguments  drawing on wide resources of learning and his experience as master-poet and teacher.
