"Part of the Climate" convincingly redefines American modernist
poetry in light of developments in modern painting, particularly
cubism. The traditional separation of the verbal and visual arts is
cast aside here, as Brogan encourages a re-evaluation of
'modernism' itself. Moreover, readers of modern poetry and
literature will find this critical work doubly useful, since the
author places the poetry of well-known modernists such as Pound,
Eliot, and Williams alongside the harder-to-find work of important
experimentalists such as Mina Loy, Louis Zukofsky, Gertrude Stein,
and George Oppen. Jacqueline Vaught Brogan has assembled this much
needed collection of experimental verse from the interwar years by
going to the small magazines through which the poems reached their
public. She not only shows how significantly many of these American
poets of the early twentieth century were influenced by the
aesthetic development of cubism in the visual arts but also argues
that the cubist aesthetic, at least as it translated into the
verbal domain, invariably involved political and ethical issues.
The most important of these concerns was to extend the aesthetic
revolution of cubism into a genuine 'revolution of the word.'
Brogan maintains, in fact, that the multiplicity inherent in cubism
anticipates the deconstructive enterprise now seen in criticism
itself. With this history of the cubist movement in American verse,
she raises serious questions about the politics of canonization and
asks us to consider the ethical responsibility of interpretation,
both in the creative arts and in critical texts.
