Ghostlier Demarcations - Modern Poetry and the Material Word

"This groundbreaking and fascinating book has a double value: it provides us with a host of genuinely new readings—of Gertrude Stein and Louis Zukofsky, George Oppen and Susan Howe, Muriel Rukeyser and Laurie Anderson—but it also provides us with the theoretical and cultural tools whereby recent verbal experiments—whether graphemic, morphemic, or generic—may be understood. A terrific accomplishment!"—Marjorie Perloff, author of Wittgenstein's Ladder
