Synopsis
This study, first published in 1981, argues that the map of modernist poetry needs to be redrawn so as to include a central tradition that cannot properly be located within the Romantic-Symbolist tradition that dominated the early-20th century. Marjorie Perloff traces this tradition from its early ""French connection"" in the poetry of Rimbaud and Apollinaire as well as in Cubist, Dada and early Surrealist painting; through its various manifestations in the work of Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound; to such postmodern ""landscapes without depth"" as the French/English language constructions of Samuel Beckett, the elusive dreamscapes of John Ashbery, and the performance works of David Antin and John Cage.

"Ms. Perloff's case is seductively and persuasively argued; her writing is by turns luminous, impassioned, and instructive. The essays on Rimbaud and John Ashbery are among my favorites in this highly intriguing book."--The Antioch Review. "Her approach pays especially handsome dividends when it comes to such frequently misunderstood writers as Gertrude Stein and John Ashbery."--The American Book Review. "THE POETICS OF INDETERMINACY will help academics revise the canon of modernism. Not only does Perloff rescue important writers from the fringe, but she also reevaluates the work of celebrated writers."--Contemporary Literature. Pristine paperback's cover features the Paul Klee drawing 'Phantom's Oath,' brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Seller Inventory # RUB1928
