Feeling as a Foreign Language - Alice Fulton

Descriere Feeling as a Foreign Language - Alice Fulton

\n \nIn Feeling as a Foreign Language, award-winning poet and critic Alice Fulton considers poetry's uncanny ability to access and recreate emotions so wayward they go unnamed. How does poetry create feeling? What are fractal poetics?\n \nIn a series of provocative, beautifully written essays concerning the good strangeness of poetry, Fulton contemplates the intricacies of a rare genetic syndrome, the aesthetics of complexity theory, and the need for cultural incorrectness. She also meditates on electronic, biological, and linguistic screens; falls in love with an outrageous 17th-century poet; argues for a Dickinsonian tradition in American letters; and calls for a courageous poetics of inconvenient knowledge.\n \nContents\n \nPreamble\n \nI.
