Larry Eigner (1927-1996), born with cerebral palsy, was an active
and significant figure for the New American Poets of the 1950s and
1960s, particularly with the Black Mountain School. While his
writing has been overshadowed by his contemporaries, such as
Charles Olson and Robert Creeley, Eigner's work has had a
significant influence on generations of poets as he was at the
center of the development of a postmodern poetics. The essays in
this collection examine the breadth of Eigner's interests and
influence, considering issues pertaining to ecopoetics, race and
ethnicity, disability, technology, media, soundscapes,
phenomenology, and popular culture. This book promises to be a
foundational text for Eigner studies as well as an important
addition to critical work about twentieth-century poetry and
poetics. Momentous Inconclusions: The Life and Work of Larry Eigner
is a valuable contribution to scholars in the field and to
academics researching the intersection of disability studies and
poetics.
