Rosenthal argues that this ambivalent figure names at one and the same time poetry's most extreme aneconomic privilege and the point of its closest contact with the interested exchange of the market. In this way, the gift conducts material relays of patronage and theories of poetic origination, in genius, inspiration, and imagination. \u003cem\u003ePoetics and the Gift\u003c\/em\u003e capitalizes on this double function in order to read material historical accounts of poetry alongside philosophical and poetic ones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy way of his original reading of Derrida's work in \u003cem\u003eGiven Time\u003c\/em\u003e and 'Economimesis', Rosenthal offers a novel account of 'gift poetics' and a new understanding of what makes poetry 'poetry'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam R.
