American poets from Robert Frost to Sherman Alexie bring aesthetics to bear on an exchange that asks readers to think carefully about the ethical demands of reading texts as a reflection of how we metaphorically \"read\" the world around us and the persons, places, and things in it.   His survey focuses on poems that foreground scenes of conversation, teaching, and debate involving a strong-willed lyric speaker and another self, bent on resisting how the speaker imagines the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Morris is Professor of English at Purdue University, USA.
