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. The second, VERB, offers a parallel record of interviews & symposia responses on a clutch of related themes, with an eye toward recharting the 'socially possible' through language & (more) radical praxis. 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.
