The Non-Turning Of Recent American Poetry On David Caplan's Questions Of Possibility: Centemporary Poetry And Poetic Form, Michael Theune Jan 2007

The Non-Turning Of Recent American Poetry On David Caplan's Questions Of Possibility: Centemporary Poetry And Poetic Form, Michael Theune

Michael Theune

David Caplan’s Questions of Possibility: Contemporary Poetry and Poetic Form (Oxford University Press, 2005) is a good and necessary book that teaches or reinforces some vital lessons about poetry and poetic form. According to Caplan, his book is a necessary corrective, a check on “our current understanding of poetic form, especially contemporary metrical verse” which Caplan describes as emerging from the ever-perpetuated, and perpetuating, over-simplified binaries of the poetry wars—open/closed, Language/New Formalist—and which Caplan labels simply adequate.”

Wit's Worth: A Reflection On Contemporary American Poetry On Created In Darkness By Troubled Americans, Michael Theune Jan 2006

Wit's Worth: A Reflection On Contemporary American Poetry On Created In Darkness By Troubled Americans, Michael Theune

Michael Theune

Near the beginning of last century, Ezra Pound proclaimed that poetry should be at least as well-written as prose. Near the end of that same century, Charles Bernstein declared that poetry should be at least as interesting as TV. The start of a new century brings with it a new demand for poetry: poetry must be at least as witty, as knowing and as surprising as Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans. And, though it may not seem so at first, this silly—and disturbing, and wonderful—book offers serious lessons for and challenges to contemporary American poetry at all levels: …

Faux, Flawed, Failed: Alice Fulton's Fuzzy Poetry And Poetics On Cascade Experiment By Alice Fulton, Michael Theune Jan 2005

Faux, Flawed, Failed: Alice Fulton's Fuzzy Poetry And Poetics On Cascade Experiment By Alice Fulton, Michael Theune

Michael Theune

Alice Fulton is a poet and a theoretician who, for over 25 years, has tried to make much of, and even to occupy, this new fuzzy space. As many of her notebook entries (collected in The Poet’s Notebook: Excerpts from the Notebooks of Contemporary American Poets. Ed. Stephen Kuusisto, et al. NY: W.W. Norton, 1995) attest to, Fulton refers to and privileges the gap, the between. One entry mulls over the possibilities opened up by fuzzy logic, stating, “Conventional logic is based on the idea that a statement…is either true or false. Fuzzy logic deals with the degree of truth, …

When The Blind Speak Of Colour: Narrative, Ethics And Stories Of The Shoah, Robert Erlewine Jan 2001

When The Blind Speak Of Colour: Narrative, Ethics And Stories Of The Shoah, Robert Erlewine

Robert Erlewine

This article discusses Richard Kearney's proposed resolution to the recent debate between Claude Lanzmann, director of Shoah, and Steven Spielberg, concerning mimesis and Schindler's List. Kearney advocates finding an Aristotelian mean between the uniqueness and communicability in stories involving the Shoah, stressing the importance of empathy in the narrative process. This article agrees with Kearney, but stresses the difficulties in finding such a mean, using such writers on the Holocaust as Jean Amery, Elie Wiesel, and Lawrence Langer as evidence. This paper especially deals with pop-culture movies that privilege empathy at the cost of obscuring the horror of the events, …
