Product Description
Synopsis
In his first collection of critical essays, Joris maps the success and limitations of contemporary avant-garde poetics. This investigation leads him to envision a "nomadic poetics" as a strategy for new poetic work, for translation and, fundamentally, for an ethics of early 21st century life.

Would enhance any personal or academic studies reading list
5 April 2004
Format:Paperback
Academician, poet, and translator Pierre Joris (Professor of English at SUNY-Albany), provides the reader with an impressively thoughtful and unusually thought-provoking series of essays on the many faceted approaches to poetry that have manifested in a diversity of cultures and historical periods. From the experimental poetics of Spicer and Mackey; to the innovations of a 10th century Sufi poet; to the contemporary speech patterns found in popular movies and baseball commentaries of the 20th Century, A Nomad Poetics ultimately showcases a "rhizomatic poetics" that translates across linguistic and cultural boundaries. A Nomad Poetics (also available in a hardcover edition) is a highly recommended compilation of original and seminal essays that would enhance any personal or academic studies reading list in the discipline of contemporary and experimental poetry.
