Opis

Writing in Real Time is the first book-length study of the American long poem as a complex adaptive system.

Recenzje

'Writing in Real Time is a welcome contribution to the dearth of systems-theoretical analyses of historically pivotal but formally unwieldy poetic projects … [It] provides tools that are vital and necessary for developing a critical and creative poetic practice with the capacity to engage the complexity of contemporary literary, social, and political ecologies.' James Belflower, Journal of Modern Literature
