Description

The News from Poems examines a subgenre of recent American poetrythat closely engages with contemporary political and social issues. This“engaged” poetry features a range of aesthetics and focuses on publictopics from climate change to the aftermath of recent wars in Afghanistanand Iraq to the increasing corporatization of U.S. culture.The News from Poems brings together newly commissioned essays byeminent poets and scholars of poetry and serves as a companion volumeto an earlier anthology of engaged poetry compiled by the editors. Essaysby Bob Perelman, Steven Gould Axelrod, Tony Hoagland, Eleanor Wilner,and others reveal how recent poetry has redefined our ideas of politics,authorship, identity, and poetics.The volume showcases the diversity of contemporary American poetry,discussing mainstream and experimental poets, including some whosework has sparked significant controversy. These and other poets of ourtime, the volume suggests, are engaged not only with public events andtopics but also with new ways of imagining subjectivity, otherness, andpoetry itself. Review "As the 21st century proceeds, in the current context of environmental catastrophe and constant war, American poetry, this book argues, is beginning to work through and, perhaps, even beyond its postmodern legacy towards a new sort of political poetry, a poetry 'of engagement.' The essays collected here explore tendencies such as documentary poetics and ecopoetics, focusing on writers as different as Frank Bidart, Kenneth Goldsmith, and Claudia Rankine. The poets discussed here don't witness atrocities and report back. There is no longer any 'back' to report to. Rather they are fully 'embedded, ' inevitably complicit participants in an unstable and increasingly toxic global environment. Taken together, these lively, various, well-chosen essays may begin to show us the outline of something new." --Rae Armantrout, University of California, San Diego "This volume will be one of the foremost critical texts on contemporary poetry, and it will be cited by scholars in many different fields of the humanities and social sciences for years to come." --David Ben-Merre, Buffalo State University "A refreshing guide for those trying to understand 21st century poetry--where it has come [and] how it has grappled with recent history in a way that seems quite different from past responses to traumatic history. This will be a significant contribution to critical studies of contemporary poetry."--Susan McCabe, University of Southern California About the Author Jeffrey Gray is a Professor of English at Seton Hall University.
