And yet, Benjamin Lee argues, to ignore the scenes of self and the historical occasions captured by experimental poets of the 1950s and 1960s is to overlook a rich and instructive resource for our own complicated transition into the twenty-first century. In Poetics of Emergence, Lee shows that poets like Frank O'Hara, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, Diane di Prima, and Allen Ginsberg offer perceptive responses to Cold War culture: lyric meditations on consequential changes in U.S. social life and politics, including the decline of the Old Left, the rise of white-collar work, and the emergence of vernacular practices like hipsterism and camp. At the same time, they offer us opportunities to anatomize our own desire for historical significance and belonging, a desire we may well see reflected and then reconfigured in their poems"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Affect and History and in Postwar Experimental Poetry -- Chapter 1.
