Must poetic form be, as Yeats demanded, "full, sphere-like, single," or can it accommodate the impurities Yeats and his Modernist generation found so problematic? Sixty years later, these are still open questions, questions Marjorie Perloff addresses in these essays.
Pound/Stevens - whose era?; the portrait of the artist as collage-text - Pound's Gaudier-Brzeska and the ""italic"" texts of John Cage; ""Letter, penstroke, paperspace"" - Pound and Joyce as co-respondents; ""To give a design"" - Williams and the visualization of poetry; ""The shape of the lines"" - Oppen and the metric of difference; between verse and prose - Beckett and the New Poetry; from image to action - the return of story in postmodern poetry; postmodernism and the impasse of lyric; ""Unimpededness and interpenetration"" - the poetic of John Cage; the word as such - L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry in the eighties.
