Summary: "American Poetry as Transactional Art explores a salient quality of much avant-garde American poetry that has so far lacked sustained treatment: namely, its role as a transactional art. Specifically Fredman describes this role as the ways it consistently engages in conversation, talk, correspondence, going beyond the scope of its own subjects and forms-its existential interactions with the outside world. Poetry operating in this vein draws together images, ideas, practices, rituals, and verbal techniques from around the globe, and across time-not to equate them, but to establish dialogue, to invite as many guests as possible to the World Party, which Robert Duncan has called the "symposium of the whole.""-- Provided by publisher
