Abstract
Cook finds Swift using his poetry as a frame within which he can meditate on the relationships between literary forebears and on the experience of reading them in the present; for Cook, Swift's intertextuality is not so much a feature of his poetry as its constitutional principle. Where Hone is compelled by the traffic poems have with the world, and vice versa, Cook is slightly more concerned to adumbrate a coherent and internally consistent poetic logic driving the evolution of Swift's work from within.
