Viac o knihe

Focusing on the modalities of witnessing, the book explores the innovative techniques of Charles Reznikoff, a Jewish American poet linked to the Objectivist movement. It highlights how he transforms archival material into his unique form of poetry, termed 'recitative,' which challenges traditional notions of originality. Through this examination, the work delves into the intersections of memory, history, and poetic expression in Reznikoff's writing.
