'This is an excellent and well-timed book on an important sub-tradition within hemispheric American poetries, which breaks new ground in the study of concrete and material poetries with clarity, confidence and a great deal of critical flair.' Greg Thomas, author of Border Blurs: Concrete Poetry in England and Scotland (2019) Reconsiders the lyrical norm that predominates in Anglophone accounts of poetry through a multilingual and transnational lens This book examines poets and artists in the Americas during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries to show how they worked to make language into material objects and material objects into language. It builds a theory of 'material poetics' that provides an alternative account of poetry in hemispheric America. Rebecca Kosick argues that by reframing American poetry to prominently include object-oriented practices within and beyond the United States, material poetry can be seen as representing a significant branch of the American poetic tradition. Rebecca Kosick is Senior Lecturer in Translation in the Department of Hispanic, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies at the University of Bristol.
