Description

Explore a fresh perspective on the American poetic tradition with The Line's Eye: Poetic Experience, American Sight. Published by Harvard University Press, this work by Elisa New challenges existing views on American vision and imperial ideology. Instead of seeing American poetry as a tool of possession, New uses the lens of pragmatism to demonstrate how poems see more fully and less invasively. This book offers a passionate defense of the power of the poem and the ethics of perception. It examines the broader possibilities of American sight, arguing that poetic ways of seeing develop a vigorous method of engagement with the world. For students, scholars, and lovers of literature, this text provides a new reading of how poetry functions as a unique way of perceiving reality. It is a significant contribution to the study of American poetry and the history of literary criticism.
