Material Poetics in Hemispheric America - Words and Objects 1950-2010 (Paperback)

Reconsiders the lyrical norm that predominates in Anglophone accounts of poetry through a multilingual and transnational lensThis 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.
