{"product_id":"experimental-american-poetry-and-the-new-organic-form-9781350414884","title":"Experimental American Poetry and the New Organic Form","description":"\u003cb\u003eArguing that the 19th century concept of \"living form\" (the idea that, like an organism, a poem develops itself from within, according to an internal logic) is not, as some critics have argued, anathema to avant-garde writing, this book contends that the concept survived and flourished in the work of a number of contemporary experimental poets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndebted to 19th century science, the notion of a \"living form\" endured throughout the 20th century and the poetic vanguard's word games and collages mirrored the disjunctive frameworks that redefined how scientists made sense of life in the age of networks and non-linear systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing readings of texts from poets including Ed Dorn, A.M.J. Crawford, P.Inman, Chris Vitiello, and Christian B?k, this book shows how a number of vanguardist poets explores the commonalities they detected between nature's processes of creation and their own methods of composition. In doing so, it highlights devices like punning, paragrammatic play, metamorphic figuration and memetic repetition, mechanisms these poets find at work in the cybernetic, genetic and digital systems they investigate in their poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo?o Paulo Guimar?es\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350414884","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446846259337,"sku":"9781350414884","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a14a9313-9cbd-49ac-ac08-fa82a618bd6d.jpg?v=1741683194","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/experimental-american-poetry-and-the-new-organic-form-9781350414884","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
