5.0 out of 5 stars
A capacious collection of post-Ashbery US poetics...,
This review is from: The Tribe of John: Ashbery and Contemporary Poetry (Paperback)
This is a superb, well-crafted, and capacius collection of the post-Ashbery US poetics which pervades the very climate of Americanist thinking about poetic subjectivity, language, identity, the trauma of broken narcissism, the promise of the sublime after Wallace Stevens and Andre Breton and so on. The range of poets who consider themselves in what she calls "the tribe of John" is quite amazing in itself, what you might congregate as "the other tradition" of dis-Americanizing, wild, and risk-taking poetics from Bernstein to Creeley, Walter Lew, and John Yau et al. Saludos, Susan, for your care and transnational vision of the future. This is a fine work of cultural poetics, that should move out beyond poetry enclaves as such into "cultural studies." of US selfhood and the mongrel banality/ of American language. |
