{"product_id":"poetrys-knowing-ignorance-joseph-acquisto-9781501378379","title":"Poetry's Knowing Ignorance","description":"What kind of knowledge, if any, does poetry provide? Poets make poems, but they also make meaning and craft a kind of learned and creative ignorance as they provide infinitely revisable answers to the question of what poetry is. That question of poetry's definition invites broader ones about the relationship of poetry to other lived experience. Poetry thus implies something like a way of life that is resistant to definitive statements and conclusions, and the creation of communities of readers and writers that live in ever-renewed questioning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo resist concluding is to embrace a kind of productive ignorance, a knowledge that is first and foremost aware of poetic knowledge's own limits. \u003ci\u003ePoetry's Knowing Ignorance\u003c\/i\u003e shows, through an examination of French poetry, how it is this dialogue in response to a constant questioning, to an answer-turned-question, that continues to blur the boundary between poetry and writing about poetry, between poetry and criticism, and between poetry and other kinds of experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Acquisto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501378376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501378379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Joseph Acquisto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127118328063,"sku":"9781501378379","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c2a0f67-ae0a-4c00-8b87-548a2fc314bd.jpg?v=1687451941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetrys-knowing-ignorance-joseph-acquisto-9781501378379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
