- This study offers a complete revision of what counts as 20th-century American poetry. Against the lyrical norm predominant in Anglophone American studies, this volume argues that poetry is a material object. It draws on multilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, English) and transnational (Brazil, Chile, the US, and Canada) examples and engages intensively with contemporary philosophies of the object. This is a highly interdisciplinary study whose implications extend beyond literature to fields including visual studies, media theory, and object-oriented philosophy. Given the depth of its comparative work, as well as its theoretical rigor and novel approach, this volume calls for double weighting.
