- Poetry and the Question of Modernity (c. 100,000 words) was researched and written over a period of ten years, including two years at a German research institute. It involved an engagement with the collected edition of Heidegger’s works (94 volumes and growing), as well as all the secondary literature it has produced, and required a similar undertaking in respect of each of the major poets the volume discusses. The book’s argument, that Heidegger forms a fundamental intellectual backdrop for poetry since 1950, required the synthesizing of this knowledge into a series of chapter-length analyses pertaining to disparate cultural contexts.
