Reading Uncreative Writing

Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of Uncreative Writing, this book delves into avant-garde movements like Neo-Conceptualism and Flarf within contemporary North American poetry. David Kaufman critically examines works by notable poets to argue that Uncreative Writing is neither a radical departure from lyric tradition nor a regressive response to neo-liberalism. Instead, he reveals that its true innovations and shortcomings are best understood in relation to the lyric tradition it seeks to distance itself from, offering a nuanced perspective on its significance in modern poetry.
