Opis

In this ambitious study of contemporary poetics, Joe W. Moffett deciphers the twentieth-century long poem. He focuses on issues like postcolonialism, nation, modernism, and postmodernism, and conceptualizes his theories by using what he calls "originiary moments", historical periods or specific events from which a poet contends our culture descends.
