Both Crespino and Trethewey agreed that, with history and poetry, \u201cthere is always borrowing across the line,\u201d as she noted. C<\/em>respino views that borrowing as a necessity, saying that even with regard to 20th-century history, where we are blessed with so much source material, still \u201cthere are so many silences in the archives\u201d that need unpacking, whether by poets or historians.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
