Reconsiders the lyrical norm that predominates in Anglophone accounts of poetry through a multilingual and transnational lensThis book examines poets and artists in the Americas during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries to show how they worked to make language into material objects and material objects into language. It builds a theory of 'material poetics' that provides an alternative account of poetry in hemispheric America. Rebecca Kosick argues that by reframing American poetry to prominently include object-oriented practices within and beyond the United States, material poetry can be seen as representing a significant branch of the American poetic tradition.
Rebecca Kosick is Lecturer in Translation in the Department of Hispanic, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies at the University of Bristol, where she also co-directs the Bristol Poetry Institute. She is the author of a poetry collection entitled Labor Day (Golias Books) as well as numerous articles addressing Hemispheric American poetry and art in the twentieth century and contemporary periods.
