“With layers of richness and historicized depth, American Hybrid Poetics makes a distinct contribution to the field. Robbins’s lively writing and strong critical voice are splendid.” -- Linda Kinnahan * Duquesne University *
"An incisive study of a hotly-debated term in U.S. poetry today, American Hybrid Poetics reveals how women’s hybrid forms converse with, and subvert, the gendered tropes of mass media culture. Robbins reveals that women’s hybrid poetics possesses not only a history but—more important—a politics, whose radicalism should no longer be ignored."
-- Elisabeth A. Frost * author of The Feminist Avant-Garde in American Poetry *
