Scope and Contents

A collection of 41 essays written by Kostelanetz on the basic theme that the literary arts exist in a "universe of other arts; thus post-1960 avant-garde painting and music are relevant to post-1960 vanguard writing (and vice versa)." Each facing page contains aphorisms by 20th century avant garde writer/poets or examples of works. The essays, on alternative right pages, include Divergent Avant-Gardes, Anti-Art and Not Art, Spacial Form, Post-Modern, Accurate Perception. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
