Description
Maureen N. McLane's experimental work of criticism explores Romantic and contemporary poetry in an innovative, conversable style.
In My Poetics, McLane writes as a poet, critic, theorist, and scholar, illuminating her own poetics and suggesting the scope of poetics more broadly. The book ranges across various poetic forms, from odes and hymns to haikus and haibuns, examining poems as speculative instruments for thinking and ways of registering our sense of being alive.
Punctuated with McLane's own poems and drawing on a range of writers and poets, My Poetics presents an artful arrangement of readings and divagations that invites readers to engage with poems and poetics in a new way.
