Expressivity in Modern Poetry explores three interrelated subjects.
The first is a general exposition of the radical or deeply
realistic aspects of the poetry and visual arts of the modem
period. The focus is on the works of Ezra Pound as understood
through a prism of postmodern thought. The second subject is the
poetry and poetics of Charles Olson, a pivotal figure during the
transition from modernism to postmodemism. The third subject is
contemporary innovative poetry with special attention to
transcultural, neobarroco, and language-centered aspects of
composition. The grounding for this section is found in the works
of William Carlos Williams, Aime Cesaire, and Jose Lezama Lima. A
reversal of the relation between the center and
periphery-decentering the New York-to-Paris vector-is crucial for
understanding the Caribbean as a seedbed for both innovative and
identity-based poetics. Wellman's purpose is to amplify the
cultural importance of expressivity in a field where critical
discussion is often dominated by constructivism and conceptualism.
Expressivity in Modern Poetry offers a new reading of the relation
between twentieth-century modernism and contemporary poetic
practice.
