Bøker av Jacqueline Vaught Brogan

Redefines American modernist poetry in light of developments in modern painting, particularly cubism. This work places the poetry of well-known modernists such as Pound, Eliot, and Williams alongside the harder-to-find work of important experimentalists such as Mina Loy, Louis Zukofsky, Gertrude Stein, and George Oppen.

The poems in this work examine a variety of cultural, natural and personal damages in a lyrical voice ironically marked by intense beauty. This disjunction is what makes the volume so disturbing and yet so tantalizing.

Wallace Stevens, one of the leading poets of the 20th century, continues to influence a wide range of poets writing today. Here, Brogan traces Steven's evolving poetic practices along three major lines that often intersected.
