Traditionally, allegorical interpretation was intended to express an orthodoxy and support an ideology. Hejinian attempts to liberate allegory from its dogmatic usages. Presenting modern and contemporary materials ranging from the novel to poetry to painting and cinema to activist poetry of the Occupy movement, each essay in the book \"begins again\" with different materials and from different perspectives. Hejinian's generative scholarship looks back to experimental modernism and forward into a future for a vital, wayward poetry resistant to the crushing global effects of neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyn Hejinian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.08w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819580856","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42446852292745,"sku":"9780819580856","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a94b7a43-27b1-4560-8940-65b68de047b0.jpg?v=1716232807","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/allegorical-moments-call-to-the-everyday-9780819580856","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
