Reconsiders the lyrical norm that predominates in Anglophone
accounts of poetry through a multilingual and transnational lens A
bold project that departs from a tradition heavily dominated by the
lyric to question the very nature of what counts as poetry. A
visually exciting text that draws on poetry and art from a wide
array of late twentieth and early twenty-first century
practitioners. An interdisciplinary approach to poetry and poetics
that opens new avenues for understanding how poetry intersects with
philosophies of the object, media theory, and visual studies. A
transnational frame that responds to a growing scholarly push to
situate American studies within the broader context of the American
hemisphere. This book examines poets and artists in the Americas
during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries to show
how they worked to make language into material objects and material
objects into language. It builds a theory of 'material poetics'
that provides an alternative account of poetry in hemispheric
America. Rebecca Kosick argues that by reframing American poetry to
prominently include object-oriented practices within and beyond the
United States, material poetry can be seen as representing a
significant branch of the American poetic tradition.
