Riassunto

<b>A diverse collection of essays and interviews on reading, teaching, and writing poetry from a preeminent critic and scholar</b><br> &#160;<br> Jed Rasula is a distinguished scholar of avant-garde poetics, noted for his erudition, intellectual range, and critical independence. <i>Wreading</i>: <i>A Poetics of Awareness, or How Do We Know What We Know?</i> is a collection of essays and interviews that reflects the breadth and diversity of his curiosity.<br><br> While this volume presents highlights from Rasula&#8217;s criticism, it also serves as a carefully assembled intellectual autobiography. <i>Wreading</i> consists of two parts: an assortment of Rasula&#8217;s solo criticism and selected interviews and conversations with other poets and scholars. These detailed conversations are with Evelyn Reilly, Leonard Schwartz, Tony Tost, Mike Chasar, Joel Bettridge, and Ming-Qian Ma. Their exchanges address ecopoetics, the corporate university, the sheer volume of contemporary poetry, and more. This substantial set of dialogues gives readers a glimpse inside a master critic&#8217;s deeply informed critical practice, illuminating his intellectual touchstones.<br><br> The balance between essay and interview achieves a distillation of Rasula&#8217;s long-established idea of &#8220;wreading.&#8221; In his original use, the term denotes how any act of criticism inherently adds to the body of writing that it purports to read. In this latest form, <i>Wreading</i> captures a critical perception that sparks insight and imagination, regardless of what it sees.
