Spatial Poetics by Yasmine Shamma

Focusing on Second Generation New York School poetry from 1960 to the present day, this volume explores the poets who lived and wrote from or about New York, the forms of their poems, and the a relationship between the structures they inhabited and the structures they created.
This, the first study of second-generation New York School poetics is a model of careful scholarship and critical discriminationWriting under the sign of Frank O'Hara but with their own spin, poets like Ron Padgett and Alice Notley, Ted Berrigan and Joe Brainard, have produced an exciting body of the work that has not received the attention it deserves. Spatial Poetics is a genuinely valuable and original addition to studies of contemporary American poetry and poetics. * Marjorie Perloff, Sadie D. Patek Professor of Humanities Emerita, Stanford University *
