Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The essays in
"Phenomenal Reading "entice readers to cross accepted barriers, and
highlight the work of poets who challenge language-as-usual in
academia and the culture at large. "Phenomenal Reading "is
comprised of essays that are central to how best to read poetry.
This book examines individually and collectively poets widely
recognized as formal and linguistic innovators. Why do their words
appear in unconventional orders? What end do these arrangements
serve? Why are they striking? Brian Reed focuses on poetic form as
a persistent puzzle, using historical fact and the views of other
key critics to clarify how particular literary works are
constructed and how those constructions lead to specific effects.
Understanding that explication and contextualization do not always
sufficiently harness the power of poetry, Reed pursues
phenomenological methods that take into account each reader's
unique perception of the world. This collection of twelve essays
values narrative as a tool for conveying the intricacy,
contingency, and richness of poetic experience.
