Architectures of Poetry

Sinopse

"Architectures of Poetry is the first comprehensive accounting of the currently intense dialogue between the sister arts of poetry and architecture. Refusing to take either term in a metaphoric sense, the eleven essays collected in this volume exemplify an exciting methodological direction for work in the humanities: a "literal wager" that is willing to take the unintended suggestions of language as reality. At the same time, they also provide close readings of the work of a number of important writers."--BOOK JACKET.
