From the Objectivists to e-poetry, this thoughtful and innovative
book explores the dynamic relationship between the ethical
imperative and poetic practice, revitalizing the study of the most
prominent post-war American poets in a fresh, provocative way.
Contributing to the "turn to ethics" in literary studies, the book
begins with Emmanual Levinas' philosophy, proposing that his
reorientation of ontology and ethics demands a social
responsibility. In poetic practice this responsibility for the
other, it is argued, is both responsive to the traumatized
semiotics of our shared language and directed towards an
emancipatory social activism. Individual chapters deal with Charles
Olson's The Maximus Poems (including reproductions of previously
unpublished archive material), Gary Snyder's environmental poetry,
Allen Ginsberg's Beat poetics, Jerome Rothenberg's ethnopoetics,
and Bruce Andrew's Language poetry. Following the book's
chronological and contextual approach, their work is situated
within a constellation of poetic schools and movements, and in
relation to the shifting socio-political conditions of post-war
America. In its redefinition and extension of the key notion of
"poethics" and, as guide to the development of experimental work in
modern American poetry, this book will interest and appeal to a
wide audience.
