Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. First Edition. For more than a century American poets have heeded the siren song of Ezra Pounds make it new staking a claim for the next poem on the supposed obsolescence of the last But great poems are forever rehearsing their own present inviting readers into a nowness that makes itself new each time we read or reread them They create the present moment as we enter it their language relying on the long history of lyric poetry while at the same time creating a feeling of unprecedented experienceIn poet and critic James Longenbachs title the word now does double duty evoking both a lyric sense of the present and twentiethcentury writers assertion of nowness as they crafted their poetry in the wake of Modernism Longenbach examines the fruitfulness of poetic repetition and indecision of naming and renaming and of the evolving search for newness in the construction history and life of lyrics Looking to the work of thirteen poets from Marianne Moore and T S Eliot through George Oppen and Jorie Graham to Carl Phillips and Sally Keith and several musicians including Virgil Thomson and Patti Smith he shows how immediacy is constructed through language Longenbach also considers the life and times of these poets taking a close look at the syntax and diction of poetry and offers an original look at the nowness of lyrics.
