Morris Daniel - Essays And Interviews On Contemporary American Poets Poetry And Pedagogy A Thirty - Year Creative Reading Workshop - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: In sixteen chapters devoted to avant - garde contemporary American poets including Kenneth Goldsmith Adeena Karasick Tyrone Williams Hannah Weiner and Barrett Watten prolific scholar and Purdue University professor Daniel Morris engages in a form of cultural repurposing by learning twice about how to attend to writers whose aesthetic contributions were not part of his education as a student in Boston and Chicago in the 1980s and 1990s when new formalism and post - confessional modes reigned supreme. Morris's study demonstrates his interest in moving beyond formalism to offer what Stephen Fredman calls a wider cultural interpretation of literature that emphasizes the new historicist concerns with hybridity ethnicity power relations material culture politics and religion. Essays address from multiple perspectives prophetic diasporic ethical the vexing problems and sublime potential of disseminating lyrics the ancient form of transmission and preservation of the singular private human voice across time and space to an individual reader in an environment in which e - poetry and digitalized poetics pose a crisis (understood as both opportunity and threat) to traditional page poetry.
