California Dreaming: Hollywood and Identity in Frank Bidart

Panel: 
Poetry and Poetics I: Culture and Identity in Post-WW II Poetry
Abstract: 

In Bidart’s recent poems we see the fruition of his sustained inquiry into the problem of identity. Bidart suggests that the source of our self-making lies in the store of our cultural products, which are paradigmatically inauthentic.
