In a discipline he calls “Object-Oriented Philology”, Harald Zapf looks at individual texts from an unusually wide variety of contemporary American poetic cultures – ranging from dominant unofficial verse culture to countercultural official verse culture. Most of the texts dealt with here were published in the U.S. between the early 1960s and the late 2010s. Zapf’s interpretive and analytical endeavors center around Amiri Baraka as a seminal figure of the American poetic canon. In scrupulous readings, Zapf calls attention to key aspects of poetry in general and contemporary American poetry in particular: form, performance, voice, and play in the first part of the book; history, ideology, identity, ethnicity, and authority in the second part.
