About This Book
"Susan Vanderborg examines the role of paratexts - notes, prefaces, marginalia, and source documents - in shaping the reading communities for American experimental poetry published since 1950." "Vanderborg examines both the innovations and the limitations of paratexts in redefining the poet's community, using the writing of six poets who represent different stages in the evolution of this form: Charles Olson, Jack Spicer, Susan Howe, Charles Bernstein, Lorenzo Thomas, and Johanna Drucker.".
"Although interest in paratexts has been increasing, Paratextual Communities is the first book-length study of their role in contemporary American avant-garde poetry. Sixteen illustrations enhance this book."--BOOK JACKET.
