Poetry at Stake : Lyric Aesthetics and the Challenge of Technology, Paperback / softback Book

Poetry at Stake : Lyric Aesthetics and the Challenge of Technology Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Taking seriously Guillaume Apollinaire's wager that twentieth-century poets would one day "mechanize" poetry as modern industry has mechanized the world, Carrie Noland explores poetic attempts to redefine the relationship between subjective expression and mechanical reproduction, high art and the world of things.

Noland builds upon close readings to construct a tradition of diverse lyricists--from Arthur Rimbaud, Blaise Cendrars, and Rene Char to contemporary performance artists Laurie Anderson and Patti Smith--allied in their concern with the nature of subjectivity in an age of mechanical reproduction.
