Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Nichols’s book presents the ‘new American’ poetry as ‘a living counter tradition’ that was too quickly dismissed as utopian, naive, or simply out of touch during the ‘theory decades’ of the 1980s and 1990s. . . . The book’s subtitle refers to the dual condition of embodiment and ‘emplacedness’ that roots an individual in that ‘something larger,’ and Nichols lays out the ways in which these poets track ‘the cartography of the outside’ and enact models of experience that engage fully with ‘the practice of outside.’ The chapters on Olson and Duncan are especially strong, but Nichols sustains a sophisticated argument with surprising engagement throughout the book. Highly recommended.”--CHOICE
