- Double-weighted statement
- This 238pp. book scrutinizes writers' and readers' interactions, as mediated through a range of technical issues such as metre and rhythm, voicing and form, rhyme and syntax. Principally, it shows how poems engage in speech-performances. The book engages poetic technique with philosophy, particularly with the Wittgensteinian tradition. The discussion spans from Ben Jonson to Denise Riley. The book is a distillation of 30 years' thought and writing about the relationship between sound and poetry. It ranges widely across literary theory, whilst elaborating its own history and perspectives.
