What do we mean when call something a lyric poem? How many kinds of
lyric are there? Are there fewer now than there were in 1920 or
1820 or 1620? The purpose of Forms of Late Modernist Lyric is to
show that our oldest styles of poetic articulation - the elegy, the
ode, the hymn - have figured all too briefly in modern genealogies
of lyric, and that they have proved especially seductive, curiously
enough, to avant-garde practitioners in the Anglophone tradition.
The poets in question - Jorie Graham, Frank O'Hara, Michael Haslam,
J. H. Prynne, Claudia Rankine, and others - have thickened the
texture of lyric practice at a time when the growing tendency in
critical circles has been to dissolve points of difference within
the genre itself. The broader aim of this volume is to demonstrate
that experimental poets since 1945 have not always been rebarbative
and anti-traditional, but rather that their recourse to familiar
forms and shapes of thought should prompt us to reconsider late
modernism as a crucial phase in the evolving history of lyric.
