Download or read book Forms of a World written by Walt Hunter and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when we think of poetry as a global literary form, while also thinking the global in poetic terms? Forms of a World shows how the innovations of contemporary poetics have been forged through the transformations of globalization across five decades. Sensing the changes wrought by neoliberalism before they are made fully present, poets from around the world have creatively intervened in global processes by remaking poetry’s formal repertoire. In experimental reinventions of the ballad, the prospect poem, and the ode, Hunter excavates a new, globalized interpretation of the ethical and political relevance of forms. Forms of a World contends that poetry’s role is not only to make visible thematically the violence of global dispossessions, but to renew performatively the missing conditions for intervening within these processes. Poetic acts—the rhetoric of possessing, belonging, exhorting, and prospecting—address contemporary conditions that render social life ever more precarious. Examining an eclectic group of Anglophone poets, from Seamus Heaney and Claudia Rankine to Natasha Trethewey and Kofi Awoonor, Hunter elaborates the range of ways that contemporary poets exhort us to imagine forms of social life and enable political intervention unique to but beyond the horizon of the contemporary global situation.

SCHERZOS BENJYOSOS is a set of four poems, scherzos in prosimetrical blocks, a comical, wild, and delirious sifting through the carnage of the financial crash, the dreamscapes of capitalist infancy, histories of sadism and persecution, the fetish bars of canonical literature, and the psychoanalysis of grass.

Download or read book Division Street written by Helen Mort and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S ELIOT PRIZE AND COSTA POETRY AWARD 2013* 'A stone is lobbed in '84, hangs like a star over Orgreave. Welcome to Sheffield. Border-land, our town of miracles...' - 'Scab' From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born.
Download or read book Forms of Late Modernist Lyric written by Edward Allen and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we mean when call something a lyric poem? How many kinds of lyric are there? Are there fewer now than there were in 1920 or 1820 or 1620? The purpose of Forms of Late Modernist Lyric is to show that our oldest styles of poetic articulation – the elegy, the ode, the hymn – have figured all too briefly in modern genealogies of lyric, and that they have proved especially seductive, curiously enough, to avant-garde practitioners in the Anglophone tradition. The poets in question – Jorie Graham, Frank O’Hara, Michael Haslam, J. H. Prynne, Claudia Rankine, and others – have thickened the texture of lyric practice at a time when the growing tendency in critical circles has been to dissolve points of difference within the genre itself. The broader aim of this volume is to demonstrate that experimental poets since 1945 have not always been rebarbative and anti-traditional, but rather that their recourse to familiar forms and shapes of thought should prompt us to reconsider late modernism as a crucial phase in the evolving history of lyric.

Download or read book Odi Barbare written by Geoffrey Hill and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odi Barbare is the second in Geoffrey Hill's sequence The Daybooks, and the third to be published. It was preceded by Daybooks III: Oraclau Oracles (2010) and Daybooks IV: Clavics (2011). The others in the series, to appear in the Collected Poems 1952-2012 from Oxford University Press in 2013, are: Al Tempo de' Tremuoti and Liber Illustrium Virorum. In the present sequence Hill uses the 'Sapphic' verse form - 're-cadencing' the example of Sir Philip Sidney - with extraordinary discipline and expressive energy to address 'this dyingTime that bends so beautifully around things' and now beats back 'more than it delivers', work that requires 'intelligent patience' but wants the time such patience needs.
Download or read book Communism and Poetry written by Ruth Jennison and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communism and Poetry: Writing Against Capital addresses the relationship between an upsurge in collective political practice around the world since 2000, and the crystallization of newly engaged forms of poetry. Considering an array of perspectives—poets, poet-critics, activists and theorists—these essays shed new light on the active interface between emancipatory political thought and poetic production and explore how poetry and the new communism are creating mutually innovative forms of thought and activity, supercharging the utopian imagination. Drawing inspiration from past connections between communism and poetry, and theorizing new directions over the years ahead, the volume models a much-needed critical solidarity with creative strategies in the present conjuncture to activate movements of resistance, on the streets and in verse.

Download or read book Stupefaction written by Keston Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Philosophy needs idiots. Stupefaction is a study in the artifice of idiots: how they are made, the uses they are put to and the types of truth that may depend on them. It explains how some important speculative and satirical descriptions of stupidity function in art and in philosophical and critical argument. Its roll call of idiots includes Pope's dunce, the master of 'bathos', Hegel's knowledge fussing over its skeleton, Adorno's 'cultivated philistine', Wordsworth's embarrassed readers who don't know the right way to like poetry, the 'savages' of enlightenment ethnography, and the compulsorily supersitious consumer genuflecting under the vat of human offcuts in Marx"--Dustjacket.
Download or read book Poetry and Work written by Jo Lindsay Walton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-16 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry and Work offers a timely and much-needed re-examination of the relationship between work and poetry. The volume questions how lines are drawn between work and non-work, how social, political, and technological upheavals transform the nature of work, how work appears or hides within poetry, and asks if poetry is work, or play, or something else completely. The book interrogates whether poetry and avant-garde and experimental writing can provide models for work that is less alienated and more free. In this major new collection, sixteen scholars and poets draw on a lively array of theory and philosophy, archival research, fresh readings, and personal reflection in order to consider work and poetry: the work in poetry and the work of poetry. Individual chapters address issues such as the many professions, occupations, and tasks of poets beyond and around writing; poetry’s special relationship with ‘craft’; work's relationship with gender, class, race, disability, and sexuality; how work gets recognised or rendered invisible in aesthetic production and beyond; the work of poetry and the work of political activism and organising; and the notion of poetry itself as a space where work and play can blur, and where postwork imaginaries can be nurtured and explored.

Download or read book Wound Building written by Danny Hayward and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wound Building is a volume of essays, with digressions, on one group of contemporary poets active in a self-organizing political poetry scene in the UK, most of whom have little to no audience outside of the little magazines that they publish and the reading series they put on. The book is a front-line report on the rapid development of this poetry in the period between 2015 and 2020, with a particular focus on the relationship of poetry to violence and its representation ... Ultimately, Hayward argues that the lessons this poetry teaches is never to write a "worthy" narrative when a fucked up collage will do. Rather than a cohesive "account" of a "school" of poets, or a "contribution" to the boring tittle-tattle of aesthetic debates over British poetry as an institution, Wound Building is a front-line report on the local disasters of a contemporary UK poetry caught in the grip of the historical cataclysm of capitalist culture. Wound Building is further concerned with aesthetic problems related to Marxism, anarchism, contemporary trans politics, and class, though its "theoretical" preoccupations are subordinated to its desire to provide a ground-level view on the writing itself, its production, its intellectual aporia, and the ways it finds itself outstripped by the ongoing "march of events" ...

Download or read book The Neurotic Turn written by Charles Johns and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking their cue from the work of Charles Johns, who has argued that, far from being an ailment, neurosis is in fact the dominant condition of our society today, an array of thinkers have gathered in The Neurotic Turn to address the question: what can ‘neurosis’ tell us about our current social impasse? What emerges in The Neurotic Turn is the awareness that the medicalization of neurosis was merely provisional. Today, to understand our increasingly synthetic, digitized world, we cannot retreat from neurosis, or pretend to offer its cure. Instead, we must confront it — dispensing with the conventional idea of ‘reality’ in order to redefine it.
