Stubborn Poetries - Poetic Facticity and the Avant-garde

Informationen zum Autor Peter Quartermain taught contemporary poetry and poetics at the University of British Columbia for over thirty years, retiring in 1999. He is the author of Disjunctive Poetics: From Gertrude Stein and Louis Zukofsky to Susan Howe and Basil Bunting: Poet of the North . With Rachel Blau DuPlessis, he is coeditor of The Objectivist Nexus: Essays in Cultural Poetics. Klappentext Offers a study of poets whose work, because of its difficulty, apparent obduracy, or simple resistance to conventional explication, remains more-or-less firmly outside the canon. The focus of the essays is on non-mainstream poets - often unknown, unstudied, and neglected writers whose work bucks preconceived notions of what constitutes the avant-garde.
