A new collection of essays from a distinguished critic of
contemporary poetry. Marjorie Perloff is one of the foremost
critics of contemporary American poetry writing today. Her works
are credited by many with creating and sustaining new critical
interest not only in the work of major modernist poets such as
Yeats, Pound, Eliot, and Williams but also in the postwar tradition
of American poetic innovation that ranges from the Black Mountain
poets, through the New York School and concrete poetry, to the
Language Poets of the 1980s and '90s. In Differentials, Perloff
explores and defends her belief in the power of close reading, a
strategy often maligned as reactionary in today's critical climate
but which, when construed deferentially, is vital, she believes, to
any true understanding of a literary or poetic work, irrespective
of how traditional or experimental it is. Perloff also examines key
issues in modernism, from Eliot's conservative poetics and Pound's
nominalism to translation theory (Wittgenstein, Eugene Jolas,
Haroldo de Campos), and the contemporary avant garde, as
represented by writers like Susan Howe, Tom Raworth, Rae
Armantrout, Ron Silliman, Ronald Johnson, Caroline Bergvall, and
Kenneth Goldsmith. Ultimately, Perloff's most important offerings
in Differentials are her remarkably original reflections on the
aesthetic process: on how poetry works, and what it means, in and
for our time.
