The Objectivist Nexus
Essays in Cultural Poetics
Edited by Peter Quartermain and Rachel Blau DuPlessis
University of Alabama Press
Outstanding poets and critics present cultural readings of the Objectivist poets, a group whose works have been largely unexamined.
Distant Reading
Performance, Readership, and Consumption in Contemporary Poetry
University of Alabama Press
Ultimately, Distant Reading treats poetry as a cultural practice that is always situated within specific sites of performance—recited on stage, displayed in magazines, laid out on a page, scrolled on the computer screen—rather than as a transcendent cloud of meaning tethered only to its words.
Expanding Authorship
Transformations in American Poetry since 1950
University of New Mexico Press
Expanding Authorship collects important essays by Peter Middleton that show the many ways in which, in a world of proliferating communications media, poetry-making is increasingly the work of agencies extending beyond that of a single, identifiable author.
