Recenzii
[A]stonishingly trenchant and flawless.
Remarkable ... This is a book to marvel at and with, to be inspired by as companionable breath, as tremendous defence of poetry, as manifesto for the rocky three-phase dialectical enactments of art in living language generating the fourth dimension of lyric.
John Wilkinson reads lyric poetry for its "repeatable evanescence," which Wilkinson characterizes as "an experience of life, of beauty time and again, not to be exhausted by one reading of an unambiguous inscription" (11). As a conception of aesthetic experience, "repeatable evanescence" illustrates the inexhaustible ability of lyric poetry to initiate disruptive aesthetic events for readers across various historical moments. Wilkinson understands lyric poems as dynamic object-events that amalgamate a variety of temporalities and other objects. To this end, he develops a style of close reading that combines the analysis of rhythm with attention to poems' material rhetoric of such objects as stone, rock, and glass. So while Wilkinson exceeds the boundaries of treating poetry as a historicist object, resources including visual art, Object-Oriented Ontology, and psychoanalysis allow him to illustrate the complex material life that lyric poetry subsumes as an aesthetic object. Wilkinson's particular interests center on the poetry of mid-twentieth-century New York City and St. Ives, Cornwall, but his readings stretch from the Renaissance to the present and additionally dabble in French and German poetry.
