This book brings together for the first time Ben Lerner's three
acclaimed volumes of poetry, along with a handful of newer poems,
to present a decade-long exploration of the relationship between
form and meaning, between private experience and public expression.
No Art is an exhilarating argument both with America and with
poetry itself, in which online slang is juxtaposed with academic
idiom, philosophy collides with advertising, and the language of
medicine and the military is overlaid with echoes of Whitman and
Keats. Here, cliches are cracked open and made new, made strange,
and formal experiments disclose new possibilities of thought and
feeling. No Art confirms Ben Lerner as one of the most searching
and ambitious poets working today.
