The study develops a new theoretical approach to the relationship
between two media (jazz music and writing) and demonstrates its
explanatory power with the help of a rich sampling of jazz poems.
Currently, the mimetic approach to intermediality (e.g., the notion
that jazz poetry imitates jazz music) still dominates the field of
criticism. This book challenges that interpretive approach. It
demonstrates that a mimetic view of jazz poetry hinders readers
from perceiving the metaphoric ways poets rendered music in
writing. Drawing on and extending recent cognitive metaphor
theories (Lakoff, Johnson, Turner, Fauconnier), it promotes a
conceptual metaphor model that allows readers to discover the
innovative ways poets translate "melody," "dynamics," "tempo,"
"mood," and other musical elements into literal and figurative
expressions that invite readers to imagine the music in their
mind's eye (i.e., their mind's ear).
