Book Synopsis
Diagnoses the Western poetic tradition's determinative association of poetry with giving.

Trade Review
"An ingenious reading of Derrida against himself frames a highly original exploration of responses to the notion of poetry as gift, from the Homeric Hymns to Flarf, showing its foundational status for the Western tradition and the possibility of distinguishing a realm of art and imagination from the prose of material existence." -Jonathan Culler, author of Theory of the Lyric
