Objects Observed explores the central place given to the object by
a number of poets in France and in America in the twentieth
century. John C. Stout provides comprehensive examinations of
Pierre Reverdy, Francis Ponge, Jean Follain, Guillevic, and Jean
Tortel. Stout argues that the object furnishes these poets with a
catalyst for creating a new poetics and for reflecting on lyric as
a genre. In France, the object has been central to a broad range of
aesthetic practices, from the era of Cubism and Surrealism to the
1990s. In the heyday of American Modernism, several major poets
foregrounded the object in their work; however, in postwar
twentieth-century America, poets moved away from a focus on the
object. Objects Observed illuminates the variety of aesthetic
practices and positions in French and American poets from the years
of high Modernism (1909-1930) to the 1990s.
