Description

Poetics of Dislocation sets the work of contemporary American poetry within the streams of migration that have made the nation what it is in the 21st century.

There are few poets better qualified to muse on that context than Meena Alexander, who spent her life studying at prestigious institutions around the globe before settling in the United States to work on her acclaimed body of poetry.

Part of the University of Michigan Press' award-winning ""Poets on Poetry"" series, ""Poetics of Dislocation"" studies not only the personal creative process Alexander uses, but also the work of other prominent writers.

Alexander discusses what it means to come to America as an adult to write poetry, and her place - and that of others - in the collection of cultures that makes up this country.

She outlines the dilemmas that face modern immigrant poets, including how to make a place for oneself in a new society and how to write poetry in a time of violence worldwide.
