Thinking with the Poem: Essays on the Poetry and Poetics of Rachel Blau Duplessis

Broad-ranging and pluralistically investigative, the essays in Thinking with the Poem document Rachel Blau DuPlessis's authorial interventions as a poet, scholar, and cultural critic steeped in the linguistic and political frames of her time. The writers included in this volume engage root-level questions at the heart of DuPlessis's praxis as posed by her in a recent essay: "What is a poem, what is a poet, what is an oeuvre, what is the 'poetic'?" Inventive and noncanonical, these essays offer substantive responses to these and other questions, providing new routes of inquiry into the poetry and poetics of this preeminent figure of new writing.
