BOOK
Reading the Difficulties
The bold essays that make up
Reading the Difficulties offer case studies in and
strategies for reading innovative poetry. Definitions of what
constitutes innovative poetry are innumerable and are offered
from every quarter. Some critics and poets argue that innovative
poetry concerns free association (John Ashbery), others that
experimental poetry is a “re-staging” of language
(Bruce Andrews) or a syntactic and cognitive break with the past
(Ron Silliman and Lyn Hejinian). The tenets of new poetry abound.
But what of the new reading that such poetry demands? Essays in
Reading the Difficulties ask what kinds of stances allow
readers to interact with verse that deliberately removes many of
the comfortable cues to comprehension—poetry that is
frequently nonnarrative, nonrepresentational, and indeterminate
in subject, theme, or message. Some essays in Thomas Fink and
Judith Halden-Sullivan’s collection address issues of
reader reception and the way specific stances toward reading
support or complement the aesthetic of each poet. Others suggest
how we can be open readers, how innovative poetic texts change
the very nature of reader and reading, and how critical language
can capture this metamorphosis. Some contributors consider how
the reader changes innovative poetry, what language reveals about
this interaction, which new reading strategies unfold for the
audiences of innovative verse, and what questions readers should
ask of innovative verse and of events and experiences that we
might bring to reading it. CONTRIBUTORS Charles Bernstein /
