Scope and Contents

Andrews states that this book is divided into three sections. "The first, POSITION, sets out an overall personal perspective in a sequence of summary statements on poetics, ending with efforts to drive the question of meaning into a trajectory of social embodiment, dialog, & resistance.

And the third, BODY, makes a mosaic out of pieces on a variety of postwar English-language poetries & matters up for grabs in reading (& thus personally reconvening & rewriting) them." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This anthology deals with a critical analysis of the Objectivists poets, a designation that began with Louis Zukovsky in the 1930's.Paperbackbookshop: "Objectivist" writers, conjoined through a variety of personal, ideological, and literary-historical links, have, from the late 1920s to the present, attracted emulation and suspicion. Representing a nonsymbolist, postimagist poetics and characterized by a historical, realist, antimythological worldview, Objectivists have retained their outsider status. Despite such status, however, the formal, intellectual, ideological, and ethical concerns of the Objectivist nexus have increasingly influenced poetry and poetics in the United States.Thus, argue editors Rachel Blau DuPlessis and Peter Quartermain, the time has come for an anthology that unites essential works on Objectivist practices and presents Objectivist writing as an enlargement of the possibilities of poetry rather than as a determinable and definable literary movement.
