"Poetic Will brings together Willbern's wonderful sensitivity to poetic language, his supple and extensive grasp of psychoanalytic thought, and his deep knowledge of Shakespearean texts. The result is a terrific book that tells one a lot about the plays, a lot about poetic language, and a lot about the possibilities of psychoanalytically informed literary criticism."--Richard P. Wheeler, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
