John Kinsella Beyond ambiguity : Tracing literary sites of activism Paperback Book

This volume completes John Kinsellas trilogy of critical activist poetics, begun two decades ago. It challenges familiar topoi and normatives of poetic activity as it pertains to environmental, humanitarian and textual activism in the worldatlarge it shows how ambiguity can be a generative force when it works from a basis of nonambiguity of purpose. The book shows how there is a clear unambiguous position to have regarding issues of justice, but that from that confirmed point ambiguity can be an intense and useful activist tool. The book is an essential resource for those wishing to study Kinsella, and for those with an interest in twentieth and twentyfirstcentury poetry and poetics, and it will stand as an inspiring proclamation of the authors faith in the transformative power of poetry and literary activity as a force for good in the world. | John Kinsella Beyond ambiguity : Tracing literary sites of activism Paperback Book
