{"product_id":"poetry-in-a-global-age-jahan-ramazani-9780226730004","title":"Poetry in a Global Age","description":"Ideas, culture, and capital flow across national borders with unprecedented speed, but we tend not to think of poems as taking part in globalization. Jahan Ramazani shows that poetry has much to contribute to understanding literature in an extra-national frame. Indeed, the globality of poetry, he argues, stands to energize the transnational turn in the humanities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoetry in a Global Age\u003c\/i\u003e builds on Ramazani's award-winning \u003ci\u003eA Transnational Poetics\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that had a catalytic effect on literary studies. Ramazani broadens his lens to discuss modern and contemporary poems not only in relation to world literature, war, and questions of orientalism but also in light of current debates over ecocriticism, translation studies, tourism, and cultural geography. He offers brilliant readings of postcolonial poets like Agha Shahid Ali, Lorna Goodison, and Daljit Nagra, as well as canonical modernists such as W. B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, and Marianne Moore. Ramazani shows that even when poetry seems locally rooted, its long memory of forms and words, its connections across centuries, continents, and languages, make it a powerful imaginative resource for a global age. This book makes a strong case for poetry in the future development of world literature and global studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jahan Ramazani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022673000X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226730004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021","brand":"Jahan Ramazani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995873968383,"sku":"9780226730004","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4a70661-eed8-4133-81ce-d9e50b88db70.jpg?v=1683338366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-in-a-global-age-jahan-ramazani-9780226730004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
