American poet's theater proliferated in the postwar period, when rich, performance-oriented poetry and theater scenes came together on the makeshift stages of urban coffee houses, shared apartments, and underground theaters. And yet its importance and history have been almost entirely ignored by critics. Acts of Poetry shines a spotlight on the practice of poet's theater by examining key groups and practitioners. Bringing together cultural history and criticism, it maps poet's theater in relation to performance practices such as poetry readings, avant-garde theater, and conceptual art and demonstrates not only the emergence of poet's theater in the postwar period but its continuation and legacy today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-240) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: where is poets' theater? -- Repeating Gertrude Stein -- "Everyone is watching us!" the poets' theatre, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1950-1956 -- From poets' theater to "antitextual" theater: the living theatre and the rhetoric of the real -- Sounding the revolution: Amiri Baraka's Black Arts poets' theater -- Carla Harryman and the ethics of performance -- Poets' theater as postdramatic theater: learning from Suzan-Lori Parks's The America play -- Epilogue: poets' theater in the twenty-first century. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Performance poetry $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Performance poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736512 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bean, Heidi R. $t Acts of poetry. $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2019 $z 9780472125326 $w (DLC) 2019020351 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6B3C5741E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
