Is poetry still relevant today, or is it merely a dwindling
historical art? How have poets of the recent past dealt with
challenges to poetics? Seeking to chart the poetic act in a period
not so much hostile as indifferent to poetry, Language at the
Boundaries outlines spaces where poetry and poetics emerge in
migration, translation, world literature, canon formation, and the
history of science and technology. One can only come so close to
fully possessing or explaining everything about the poetic act, and
this book grapples with these limits by perusing, analyzing,
deconstructing, and reconstructing creativity, implementing
different approaches in doing so. Peter Carravetta consolidates
historical epistemological positions that have accrued over the
last several decades, some spurred by the modernism/postmodernism
debate, and unpacks their differences--juxtaposing Vico with
Heidegger and applying the approaches of translation studies,
decolonization, indigeneity, committed literature, and critical
race theory, among others. What emerges is a defense and theory of
poetics in the contemporary world, engaging the topic in a
dialectic mode and seeking grounds of agreement.
