Excess--the Factory
Excess-The Factory is about factory work, about working class resistance to capitalism, about the 68 general strike in France.
Writing Not Writing
Writing Not Writing is both a detailed analysis of four individual poets who left poetry behind and a theoretically provocative exploration of the political and ethical possibilities of silence, not-doing, and disavowal. Reading the silences of George Oppen, Carl Rakosi, and Bob Kaufman, the renunciation of Laura Riding, and other more contemporary instances and modes of poetic abnegation, Tom Fisher explores silence, refusal, and disavowal as political and ethical modes of response in a time of continuous crisis. Through a turn away from writing, these poets offer strategies of refusal and departure that leave anagrammatical hollows behind, activating the negational capacities of writing and aesthetics to disrupt the empire of sense, speech, and agency.
My Poetics
"This new collection from the acclaimed poet and critic Maureen McLane works in an innovative register of essayistic writing: conversable yet grounded in scholarship, close-readerly but far-seeing. McLane's encounters with poems and modellings of poetry illuminate her own poetics and suggest more generally all that poetics can encompass. With characteristic brilliance, McLane pursues a number of open questions: How do poems shape our condition and conditioning as sentient creatures? How do they generate modes for thinking? How does rhyme help us measure out thought? What is the relation of poetry to its surround--to the environment--and how do specific poems activate that relation? What is the difference between a poetry of "finding" rather than of inspiration? And how should we understand poetries invested in "the notational" and others committed to "projects" (as many contemporary poets are, as Wordsworth was in his Prelude)? As these questions suggest, My Poetics does not offer a brief for or against a position on poetry. Instead, its artful arrangement of readings and divagations (and even, occasionally, verse) show us a way to be with poems and poetics"--

Le temps des cerises
En 1861, comme beaucoup de Bretons, Nathalie et Jérôme Le Mel fuient la misère et partent tenter leur chance à Paris. Mais vivre dans les quartiers populaires, c’est trouver une autre misère - celle des ouvriers. Nathalie tombe sous le charme d’Eugène Varlin, un militant, humaniste proche des francs-maçons. Avec lui, elle défend la cause des travailleurs. Alors que des évènements politiques et sociaux graves secouent la France, aidée de femmes influentes, Nathalie ne cesse à aucun moment, de soutenir les femmes, de leur porter secours, de défendre leurs droits. Lorsque, au temps des cerises, Paris s’engouffre dans un engrenage tragique, elle ne renonce pas. Au contraire. Elle s’écrie : « Notre peau, nous la laisserons s’il le faut, mais nous ne céderons pas. Les barricades ne me font pas peur. Je serai dessus, un fusil à la main. »
Inciting Poetics
The essays in Inciting Poetics provide provocative answers to the book's opening question, "What are poetics now?" Authored by some of the most important contemporary poets and critics, the essays present new theoretical and practical approaches to poetry and poetics that address current topics and approaches in the field as well as provide fresh readings of a number of canonical poets. The four sections--"What is Poetics?," "Critical Interventions," "Cross-Cultural Imperatives," and "Digital, Capital, and Institutional Frames"--create a basis on which both experienced readers and newcomers can build an understanding of how to think and write about poetry. The diverse voices throughout the collection are both informative and accessible and offer a rich exploration of multiple approaches to thinking and writing about poetry today.
Poetic Critique
Poetic critique – is that not an oxymoron? Do these two forms of behavior, the poetic and the critical, not pull in different, even opposite, directions? For many scholars working in the humanities today, they largely do, but that has not always been the case. Friedrich Schlegel, for one, believed that critique worthy of its name must itself be poetic. Only then would it stand a chance of responding adequately to the work of art. Taking Schlegel’s idea of poetische Kritik as a starting point, this volume reflects on the possibility of drawing these alleged opposites closer together. In light of current debates about the legacy of critique, it investigates whether a concept such as poetic critique (or poetic criticism) lends itself to enriching our intellectual practice by engaging with the poetic potential of criticism and the critical value of art and literature.
Post45 Vs. The World: Literary Perspectives on the Global Contemporary
Much of the work done on the Post45 literary field carries an implicitly Americanist perspective. Even the name of the field suggests a certain literary history, with certain assumptions and blind spots about national spaces, identities, and histories. But what would Post45 look like when considered from outside of the United States? How do the current contours of the field exclude certain voices, either in the United States or elsewhere in the world? And how would such new perspectives shift the beginning and possible endpoint of that literary period? What new narratives of the contemporary emerge if we begin telling the story in a different year or from a different national or global persp...
The Cambridge Introduction to American Poetry since 1945
Contemporary American poetry can often seem intimidating and daunting in its variety and complexity. This engaging and accessible book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the rich body of American poetry that has flourished since 1945 and offers a useful map to its current landscape. By exploring the major poets, movements, and landmark poems at the heart of this era, this book presents a compelling new version of the history of American poetry that takes into account its variety and breadth, its recent evolution in the new millennium, its ever-increasing diversity, and its ongoing engagement with politics and culture. Combining illuminating close readings of a wide range of representative poems with detailed discussion of historical, political, and aesthetic contexts, this book examines how poets have tirelessly invented new forms and styles to respond to the complex realities of American life and culture.
