Locating poetry in a philosophy of the everyday, Brett Bourbon
continues a tradition of attention to logic in everyday utterances
through Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, and Cavell, arguing that poems
are events of form, not just collections of words, which shape
everyone's lives. Poems taught in class are formalizations of the
everyday poems we live amidst, albeit unknowingly. Bourbon
resurrects these poems to construct an anthropology of form that
centers everyday poems as events or interruptions within our lives.
Expanding our understanding of what a poem is, this book argues
that poems be understood as events of form that may depend on words
but are not fundamentally constituted by them. This line of thought
delves into a poem's linguistic particularity, to ask what a poem
is and how we know. By reclaiming arenas previously ceded to
essayists and literary writers, Bourbon reveals the care and
attention necessary to uncovering the intimate relationship between
poems, life, reading and living. A philosophical meditation on the
nature of poetry, but also on the meaning of love and the claim of
words upon us, Everyday Poetics situates the importance of everyday
poems as events in our lives.
