Poetry on and Off the Page: Essays for Emergent Occasions Book Description

Literary/cultural criticism. Committed to the notion that, in John Ashbery's words, "You can't say it that way anymore", Poetry on & off the Page describes the formation and transformations of literary and artistic discourses, and traces these discourses as they have evolved in their dialogue with history, culture, and society. The volume is testimony to the important role that contemporary artistic practice will continue to play as we move into the twenty-first century.
