This is a book about contemporary literary and artistic
entanglements: word and image, media and materiality, inscription
and illustration. It proposes a vulnerable, fugitive mode of
reading poetry, which defies disciplinary categorisations,
embracing the open-endedness and provisionality of forms. This
manifests itself interactively in the six case studies, which have
been chosen for their distinctness and diversity across the long
twentieth century: the book begins with the early twentieth-century
work of writer and artist Djuna Barnes, exploring her re-animation
of sculptural and dramatic sources. It then turns to the late
modernist artist and poet David Jones considering his use of the
graphic and plastic arts in The Anathemata, and next, to the
underappreciated mid-century poet F.T. Prince, whose work uncannily
re-activates Michelangelo's poetry and sculpture. The second half
of the book explores the collaborations of the canonical poet Ted
Hughes with the publisher and artist Leonard Baskin during the
1970s; the innovative late twentieth-century poetry of Denise Riley
who uses page space and embodied sound as a form of address; and,
finally, the contemporary poet Paul Muldoon who has collaborated
with photographers and artists, as well as ventriloquising nonhuman
phenomena. The resulting unique study offers contemporary writers
and readers a new understanding of literary, artistic, and nonhuman
practices and shows the cultural importance of engaging with their
messy co-dependencies. The book challenges critical methodologies
that make a sharp division between the textual work and the
extra-literary, and raises urgent questions about the status and
autonomy of art and its social role.
