5.0 out of 5 stars
An interdisciplinary and international consideration of 'the contemporary',
By
This review is from: Contemporary Poetics (Avant-Garde & Modernism Studies) (Paperback)
This challenging and engaging book does not claim to be 'about' poetics or about a systematic theory or doctrine of poetry. Rather, it offers a collection of critical essays that aim 'to broadly delineate a possible poetics of the contemporary.'
Editor Louis Armand is himself a poet, and directs the InterCultural Studies program at the Philosophy Faculty of Charles University, Prague. The international and interdisciplinary set of contributors includes Alan Sondheim, Bruce Andrews, Charles Bernstein, Darren Tofts, Donald F. Theall, Gregory L. Ulmer, Keston Sutherland, Kevin Nolan, Marjorie Perloff, and Steve Mccaffery, among others. The term 'contemporary poetics' as it is used in this volume, Armand writes, "rests neither in the delineation of a specific period or epoch nor in a 'present' conceived in terms of it, but rather of a 'condition' of writing which is both historical and attuned to the radical co-implication of poetics and the 'present time of writing.'" |
