The Necropastoral: Poetry, Media, Occults (Poets On Poetry)

The Necropastoral: Poetry, Media, Occults (Poets On Poetry)

InÂ The Necropastoral: Poetry, Media, Occults, poet Joyelle McSweeney presents an ecopoetics and a theory of Art that reflect such biological principles as degradation, proliferation, contamination, and decay. In these ambitious, bustling essays, McSweeney resituates poetry as a medium amid media; hosts â€œstrange meetingsâ€ of authors, texts, and artworks across the boundaries of genre, period, and nation; and examines such epiphenomena as translation, anachronism, and violence. Through readings of artists as diverse as Wilfred Owen, Andy Warhol, Harryette Mullen, Roberto BolaÃ±o, AimÃ© CÃ©saire, and Georges Bataille,Â The NecropastoralÂ shows by what strategies Art persists amid lethal conditions as a spectacular, uncanny force.
