Female spoken word artists have become the spokeswomen for a new generation. This demanding oral poetry of the early 21st century has defined a vanguard of lithely muscled voices; women who think and act decisively to create their distinctive and desperately earned realities. The combination of the eminent slam movement and the upsurge of bold underground feminism has created a unique pool of women who verbally challenge society on all fronts. Editor Alix Olson brought together a variety of astounding spoken word artists for Word Warriors. Included in this collection are Patricia Smith and Eileen Myles, two of our most formidable and famous spoken-word foremothers, Tony-award winner Sarah Jones, Lynn Breedlove from the infamous dyke-punk band Tribe 8, Palestinian-born and raised Suheir Hummadd, and many more. These women join other amazing artists from many different backgrounds to create Word Warriors, a powerful and comprehensive collection of work from the best and brightest female spoken word artists today.

Ce livre s'intéresse moins aux mouvements poétiques qu'au mouvement des formes poétiques. Plutôt que de s'acharner à promouvoir ou à rejeter certaines écoles, il étudie les formes que les poètes adoptent ou négligent. Ces choix sont révélateurs de leurs ambitions et de leurs limites, des possibilités neuves qu'ils découvrent et des traditions qu'ils trouvent impossibles à assumer. Cette étude se concentre sur cinq formes, cinq points sur une carte pour dessiner les contours particuliers de la poésie métrique et de la culture poétique contemporaines : la sextine, le ghazal, le sonnet amoureux, le distique héroïque et la ballade. En soulignant ce que des pratiques soi-disant antagonistes - prosodie et "théorie", poèmes "traditionnels" et "expérimentaux" - ont à se dire, "Questions de possibilité" éloigne le débat des oppositions binaires qui obèrent trop souvent les débats sur la poésie américaine contemporaine. Les poèmes envisagés ici s'ouvrent à des influences imprévues. Pour cette raison, cette étude accorde une attention renouvelée à ce que les auteurs disent et à ce que leurs formes poétiques révèlent, soucieux de ne pas perdre de vue que les formes qu'ils utilisent contreviennent parfois à leurs assertions partisanes, leurs usages politiques et esthétiques variant en fonction des contextes et des exigences. La prosodie après "les guerres de poésie" réclame un modèle moins agonique, plus nuancé de la création littéraire, un modèle capable de montrer comment les écrivains utilisent même les idées auxquelles ils s'opposent. Les bons poètes sont opportunistes. Ils boivent à diverses sources. Leur goût du déplacement frustre ceux qui cherchent à dessiner des généalogies simplistes. "Questions de possibilité" propose un vocabulaire critique flexible susceptible d'éclairer la poésie la plus intéressante de notre époque au lieu de l'ignorer. Il s'agit avant tout de parler des "contemporains" qui se "partagent la langue" et non des partisans qui déclarent des "guerres".

A literary history of the Great Acceleration, 'Remainders' examines an archive of postwar American poetry that reflects on new dimensions of ecological crisis. These poems portray various forms of remainders - from obsolescent goods and waste products to atmospheric pollution and melting glaciers - that convey the ecological consequences of global economic development. While North American ecocriticism has tended to focus on narrative forms in its investigations of environmental consciousness and ethics, Margaret Ronda highlights the ways that poetry explores other dimensions of ecological relationships. The poems she considers engage in more ambivalent ways with the problem of human agency and the limits of individual perception, and they are attuned to the melancholic and damaging aspects of environmental existence in a time of generalized crisis.

Poems inspire our trust, argues James Longenbach in this bracing work, because they don't necessarily ask to be trusted. Theirs is the language of self-questioning-metaphors that turn against themselves, syntax that moves one way because it threatens to move another. Poems resist themselves more strenuously than they are resisted by the cultures receiving them. But the resistance to poetry is quite specifically the wonder of poetry. Considering a wide array of poets, from Virgil and Milton to Dickinson and Glück, Longenbach suggests that poems convey knowledge only inasmuch as they refuse to be vehicles for the efficient transmission of knowledge. In fact, this self-resistance is the source of the reader's pleasure: we read poetry not to escape difficulty but to embrace it. An astute writer and critic of poems, Longenbach makes his case through a sustained engagement with the language of poetry. Each chapter brings a fresh perspective to a crucial aspect of poetry (line, syntax, figurative language, voice, disjunction) and shows that the power of poetry depends less on meaning than on the way in which it means-on the temporal process we negotiate in the act of reading or writing a poem. Readers and writers who embrace that process, Longenbach asserts, inevitably recoil from the exaggeration of the cultural power of poetry in full awareness that to inflate a poem's claim on our attention is to weaken it. A graceful and skilled study, The Resistance to Poetry honors poetry by allowing it to be what it is. This book arrives at a critical moment-at a time when many people are trying to mold and market poetry into something it is not.
