Reviews

Well-documented and elegantly written, Stephens's book demonstrates the vitality of literary and poetic studies in the age of big data criticism. -Leonardo Reviews Enthralling and rigorous. -Neural The Poetics of Information Overload offers rewarding insights into these processes and establishes a compelling new perspective on the development of American poetry. -Amerikastudien/American Studies `Isn't the avant-garde always technological?' asks Paul Stephens in this exciting book, which poses key questions and ventures revealing answers at every turn. He offers one of the freshest and smartest perspectives on the past century's avant-garde, as well as an exceptionally clear view of the most exigent poetry from our contemporary moment. -Craig Dworkin, University of Utah and author of No Medium
