Journal Article
Petalbent Devils: Louis Zukofsky, Lorine Niedecker, and the Surrealist Praying Mantis
2006
Overview
Over the past twenty years, Louis Zukofsky's sestina Mantis and its companion poem, Mantis, An Interpretation, have come to occupy a prominent position in the reception of the poet's work and in general discussions of the Objectivist movement. Most accounts focus on one of three issues--the poems' relations to marxism, their relations to imagism, or their relations to formalism. The latter is especially well represented in the critical literature--in the words of Zukofsky's biographer Mark Scroggins, the general consensus seems to be that the knowledge that the poem bears is a function of its relational structure rather than its referential reach. Golston examines the poem's \"referential reach.\"
