A career-spanning collection of essays from a leading scholar of
avant-garde poetry Writing into the Future: New American Poetries
from “The Dial” to the Digital collects Alan Golding’s essays
on the futures (past and present) of poetry and poetics. Throughout
the 13 essays gathered in this collection, Golding skillfully joins
literary critique with a concern for history and a sociological
inquiry into the creation of poetry. In Golding’s view, these are
not disparate or even entirely distinct critical tasks. He is able
to fruitfully interrogate canons and traditions, both on the page
and in the politics of text, culture, and institution. A central
thread running through the chapters is a longstanding interest in
how various versions of the “new” have been constructed,
received, extended, recycled, resisted, and reanimated in American
poetry since modernism. To chart the new, Golding contends with
both the production and the reception of poetry, in addition to
analyzing the poems themselves. In a generally chronological order,
Golding reconsiders the meaning for contemporary poets of high
modernists like Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, as well as
the influential poetry venues The Dial and The Little Review, where
less prominent but still vital poets contested what should come
“next.” Subsequent essays track that contestation through The
New American Poetry and later anthologies. Mid-century major
figures like Robert Creeley and George Oppen are discussed in their
shared concern for the serial poem. Golding’s essays bring us all
the way back to the present of the poetic future, with writing on
active poets like Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Susan Howe, and Bruce
Andrews and on the anticipation of digital poetics in the material
texts of Language writing. Golding charts the work of defining
poetry’s future and how we rewrite the past for an unfolding
present.
