Preview Male Subjectivity and Poetic Form in New American Poetry (Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics)

Description:
Male Subjectivity and Poetic Form in "New American" Poetry examines the crucial, yet sometimes fraught connections between poets associated with Donald Allen's groundbreaking 1960 anthology, The New American Poetry.  Focusing in particular on pairings of writers within the larger grouping of poets, including Robert Duncan, Charles Olson, and Nathaniel Mackey, this book suggests how literary partnerships became pivotal to the writing, especially at early stages in these poets' careers.  Mossin then goes on to examine the role that male friendship, rivalry, and camaraderie play in the production of poetic texts. "No one listens to poetry," Jack Spicer famously wrote.  This book shows how a particular group of poets did listen to each other and what they made of what they heard.
