Marjorie Perloff writes in her preface to "Poetics in a New Key"
that when she learned David Jonathan Y. Bayot wanted to publish a
collection of her interviews and essays, she was "at once honored
and mystified." But to Perloff's surprise and her readers' delight,
the resulting assembly not only presents an accessible and
provocative introduction to Perloff's critical thought, but also
highlights the wide range of her interests, and the energetic
reassessments and new takes that have marked her academic career.
The fourteen interviews in "Poetics in a New Key"--conducted by
scholars, poets, and critics from the United States, Denmark,
Norway, France, and Poland, including Charles Bernstein, Helene
Aji, and Peter Nicholls--cover a broad spectrum of topics in the
study of poetry: its nature as a literary genre, its current state,
and its relationship to art, politics, language, theory, and
technology. Also featured in the collection are three pieces by
Perloff herself: an academic memoir, an exploration of poetry
pedagogy, and an essay on twenty-first-century intellectuals. But
across all the interviews and essays, Perloff's distinctive
personality and approach to reading and talking resound, making
this new collection an inspiring resource for scholars both of
poetry and writing.
