{"product_id":"form-power-and-person-in-stephen-fredman-9781587298592","title":"Form, Power, and Person in Robert Creeley's Life and Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy any measure--international reputation, influence upon fellow writers and later generations, number of books published, scholarly and critical attention--Robert Creeley (1926-2005) is a literary giant, an outstanding, irreplaceable poet. For many decades readers have remarked upon the almost harrowing emotional nakedness of Creeley's writing. In the years since his death, it may be that the disappearance of the writer allows that nakedness to be observed more readily and without embarrassment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Written by the foremost critics of his poetry, \u003ci\u003eForm, Power, and Person in Robert Creeley's Life and Work\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to treat Creeley's career as a whole. Masterfully edited by Stephen Fredman and Steve McCaffery, the essays in this collection have been gathered into three parts. Those in \"Form\" consider a variety of characteristic formal qualities that differentiate Creeley from his contemporaries. In \"Power,\" writers reflect on the pressure exerted by emotions, gender issues, and politics in Creeley's life and work. In \"Person,\" Creeley's unique artistic and psychological project of constructing a person--reflected in his correspondence, teaching, interviews, collaborations, and meditations on the concept of experience--is excavated. While engaging these three major topics, the authors remain, as Creeley does, intent upon the ways such issues appear in language, for Creeley's nakedness is most conspicuously displayed in his intimate relationship with words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Altieri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel Blau DuPlessis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Fredman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Friedlander\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Golding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Davidson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve McCaffery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Middleton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarjorie Perloff\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Quartermain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLibbie Rifkin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Fredman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587298597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587298592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2010","brand":"Stephen Fredman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077946732799,"sku":"9781587298592","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d9fc63a-b056-48b9-845d-bab4b6824db2.jpg?v=1685472670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/form-power-and-person-in-stephen-fredman-9781587298592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
