Noise That Stays Noise: Essays

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of poetry, information theory, and biology, this collection features critical essays, interviews, and reviews by contemporary poet Cole Swensen. It delves into how recent poetic experiments reflect a new generation's poetics, emphasizing language as both an artistic medium and a means of communication. By applying the model of self-organization from noise, the work expands on Ezra Pound's assertion about literature, offering fresh insights into the evolving nature of poetry in today's context.
