内容説明

This study focuses on a movement called "constructive postmodernism" which, in the work of such theorists as Frank Turner, has helped to chart new directions for literary theory past the fragmentary impasses of deconstruction, identity, politics, and cultural studies. It develops alternative readings of such poets as: Wallace Stevens; Edna St Vincent Millay; e.e. Cummings; James Wright; Hayden Carruth; Rita Dove; John Haines; Judson Jerome; and Sam Hamill. This book also raises questions about the status of poetry in contemporary American culture, particularly its relationship with the university.
