The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays & Comedies
Autor Charles Bernstein Cuvânt înainte de Paul Austeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2024
For more than four decades, Charles Bernstein has been at the forefront of experimental poetry, ever reaching for a radical poetics that defies schools, periods, and cultural institutions. The Kinds of Poetry I Want is a celebration of invention and includes not only poetry but also essays on aesthetics and literary studies, interviews with other poets, autobiographical sketches, and more.
At once a dialogic novel, long poem, and grand opera, The Kinds of Poetry I Want arrives amid renewed attacks on humanistic expression. In his polemical, humorous style, Bernstein faces these challenges head-on and affirms the enduring vitality and attraction of poetry, poetics, and literary criticism.

Recenzii
"This is not so much a collection of poems, as conventionally understood, as a display of the possibilities for poetry. Each work here is not just in a different style or form but rather explores different aspects of poetry as a medium: resounding, re- vising, resonating, re- calling, re- performing, reimaginings."
“The book is an aesthetic event, an art object in a way analogous to a book of poems’ existence as an art object, a poem, in toto. Baudelaire’s Les fleurs du mal or Yeats’s Tower come to mind.”
“Charles Bernstein has reintroduced a spirit of polemic into the world of American poetry. In the exhausted atmosphere in which so much of our writing takes place, Charles Bernstein has battled long and hard to make both writers and readers aware of the implications embedded in each and every language act we partake of as citizens of this vast, troubled country. Whether or not you agree with what Charles Bernstein has to say is less important than the fact that it has become more and more important to listen to what he is saying.”
“A tireless provocateur, Bernstein may be as known for his critical writing as for his poetry. His innovative, genre-bending essays . . . offer an inspired blend of contrarian polemic, acute analysis, and ironic humor as they confront the stifling rules and protocols of poetry and the institutions that underlie it.”
