Measure's Measure: Poetry & Knowledge
Autor Michael Boughn PhD Introducere de Charles Stein PhDen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2024
At the heart of Michael Boughn’s Measure’s Measures are fundamental questions about poetry’s relation to modes of knowing the world beyond what’s given. Lovingly addressed to the work of poets associated with the New American Poetry and their predecessors, these essays probe the development of what Boughn calls the somatic poetics of transformative gnosis. Boughn’s method combines a wide range of scholarship with his affectionate personal knowledge of many of the poets, and a radically decentered view of the stakes poetry brings to considerations of our post-modern moment. Rethinking the history of 20th century US American poetry, these essays challenge the academic containment of poetry to literary studies, opening it into a thriving wilderness of thinking being.

Recenzii
"Concretely, the measure of the poem is the measure of its rhythms, the qualitative aura of its language, its way of carrying its content. But Boughn also takes the measure of measure itself. To measure the measure is to accept the responsibility for the specific values of the poem’s concern—both the values in the poetics practiced in the work and the values expressed by its content. The poet stands at the site where originary value configures itself and colors its world."
