With essays by 13 leading scholars, this collection establishes the
grounds for a new kind of poetics that considers the poetry book
itself -- the concept and the material fact -- as an object of
interpretation. The authors argue that the decisions poets make
about the presentation of their works play a meaningful role in the
poetic process and therefore should figure as part of the reading
experience.
The common practice of approaching poems chronologically, as they
are presented in anthologies or in posthumous editions, has been
fostered by the long prevailing tendency of the New Criticism to
treat each poem as self-contained. This volume urges the reader to
reconsider the most fundamental ways that one reads, teaches, and
inteprets poetry.
Moving from classical to contemporary poetry, these essays develop
a literary history and theory for such a poetics, at the same time
providing a generous set of models for a related practical
criticism. At the heart of this collection are such issues as
order, arrangement, and intertextuality. Reading poems in their
place helps to return them to their historical contexts because the
book itself has had a particular place in its own culture and
society.
