Whether claiming to immortalize its addressees, worrying over time's passage and the misspent youth of lovers, or testifying to the fleeting nature of the sounds it nonetheless seeks to preserve, the lyric has for millennia adopted temporality as a central subject and theme, as well as a self-conscious examination of its own form. The contributors to this volume show how these pivotal generic and historical elements operate across periods: in allusion and translation, in memories of what constitutes a legible selfhood, and even in speculation about what non-human timescales (large or small) might look like. This collection also reveals that lyric neither simply opposes itself to the temporal unfolding of narrative nor stands in for presentness or heightened emotional sensation. Rather, it makes possible a reimagining of how we exist complexly in time by performing a surprisingly dynamic range of temporal operations. \u003cem\u003eLyric Temporalities\u003c\/em\u003e challenges critical presuppositions about the durational processes of poetic encounter and the linearity of empirical experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Johnson,Ryan Netzley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.07w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487560379","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45246669586569,"sku":"9781487560379","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_09259aee-1ec7-44d4-b55d-5d0dea5f96c9.jpg?v=1770701626","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/lyric-temporalities-9781487560379","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
