520    "How can art help us make sense--or nonsense--of the 
       world? If wrong life cannot be lived rightly, as Theodor 
       Adorno had it, what weapons and strategies for living 
       wrongly can art provide? With the same intelligence that 
       animates his poetry, Michael Robbins addresses this 
       weighty question while contemplating the idea of how 
       strange it is that we need art at all. Ranging from Prince
       to Def Leppard, Lucille Clifton to Frederick Seidel, 
       Robbins's mastery of poetry and popular music shines in 
       Equipment for Living. He has a singular ability to 
       illustrate points with seemingly disparate examples 
       (Friedrich Kittler and Taylor Swift, to W.B. Yeats and 
       Anna Kendrick's "Cups"). Robbins weaves a discussion on 
       poet Juliana Spahr with the different subsets of 
       Scandinavian black metal, illuminating subjects in ways 
       that few scholars can achieve. Equipment for Living is 
       also a wonderful guide to essential poetry and popular 
       music"--Jacket flap.
