This path-breaking book explores different ways in which writing
about poetry can deepen and extend our critical engagement by
deploying creatively the manifold resources of poetic language and
form. Through a series of verse-essays, reflective monologues, and
inventive variations on topics in literary theory The Winnowing Fan
makes a strong case for revising received ideas about the scope and
limits of criticism. Norris's poems traverse the full range of
European poetic history from Homer's Odyssey, through the work of
French symbolists such as Mallarme, to modern writers such as
Yeats, Benjamin, Heaney, Larkin, and Barthes. There are also
verse-essays and shorter pieces on philosophers from Hume and
Leibniz to Heidegger, Althusser, Derrida, de Man, Rorty, Deleuze,
Badiou, and Agamben. In each case Norris seeks to free criticism
from conventional academic forms and return it to an active mutual
engagement with the practice of literature itself.
