Reviews

In a field dominated by the novel, we need smart critics like Walt Hunter to reveal poetry's very different engagements with politics and economics. From territorial dispossession to environmental devastation, Hunter shows the agonies of globalization prompting subtle and inventive poetic responses.--Caroline Levine, Cornell University This smart, engaging, and timely book rethinks periodization according to the rhythms of capitalism. Finely written, with many moments of startling beauty and poetic nuance, Forms of a World offers a crucial reassessment of poetry's importance today--Christopher Nealon, Johns Hopkins University
