Phyllis Webb and the common good : poetry, anarchy, abstraction
"Phyllis Webb and the Common Good: Poetry /Anarchy /Abstraction offers a re-contextualizing of Phyllis Webb's poetry within twentieth century discourses of anarchism and abstraction. Stephen Collis explores the ontological conditions and implications of Webb's "poetics of response," suggesting that Webb's poetics is informed by an anarchist's anti-authoritarian stance and insistence on direct experience, in the tradition of self-professed anarchist poets such as Laura Riding and Robert Duncan."--Jacket
