Viac o knihe

Focusing on Louis Zukofsky's poetics, the book explores his pivotal role in the ethical dimensions of American poetic modernism. It positions Zukofsky as a crucial yet overlooked figure within this framework, analyzing his work through the theories of Theodor Adorno and Emmanuel Levinas. The author, Woods, presents a compelling ethical genealogy that connects Zukofsky to contemporary LANGUAGE poetry, bridging modernism and postmodernism while intertwining ethics and aesthetics, ultimately illuminating a neglected aspect of modernist poetics.
