Scope and Contents This latest collection of essays, gathers some of Bernstein's most memorably irreverent work while addressing seriously and comprehensively the state of contemporary humanities, the teaching of unconventional forms, fresh approaches to translation, the histsory of language media, and the connections between poetry and visual art. Jay Sanders co-authored the chapter "Poetry Plastique: A Verbal Explosion in the Art Factory."Aptowicz on Amazon.com: "Charles Bernstein is a poet & poetry professor who may be best known by the younger generation of writers as the poet who hates National Poetry Month.
