The Cambridge Companion to the Poem
What is a poem? What ideas about the poem as such shape how readers and audiences encounter individual poems? To explore these questions, the first section of this Companion addresses key conceptual issues, from singularity and genre to the poem's historical exchanges with the song and the novel. The second section turns to issues of form, focusing on voice, rhythm, image, sound, diction, and style. The third section considers the poem's social a…
A Poetics of Postmourning
Whereas the historical trauma of the Middle Passage and enslavement has been a prominent subject of Caribbeanist scholarship, there is surprisingly little sustained consideration of how poems and other imaginative works mourn this violent past, even though melancholic grief is a crucial component of the literary response. Building on the concepts of "postmemory" and "rememory," this essay proposes the concepts of postmourning for the representati…
“A Global Web of Elegies”
Is the elegy global? To wrestle with this impossibly large question, can we approach it intrinsically by searching within elegy for traces of the genre’s worldwide reach? A contemporary elegy that can serve as a portal to the genre’s globality is Edward Hirsch’s book-length Gabriel (2014), a lament for the poet’s son that weaves a global web of elegies, citing more than a dozen mourning poets from classical and Edo Japan, medieval, Renaissance, a…
Poetry and Race
Poetry and Race:An Introduction Jahan Ramazani (bio) Why poetry and race? After all, race, in the sense of biobehavioral essences passed from parents to children, doesn't even exist. In the words of Kwame Anthony Appiah, genetics has shown that genes "are not inherited in racial packages," "so there are, sensu stricto, no races."1 But as a cultural category that constructs social difference, race not only exists; it's one of the most significant …

Appiah's Identities
Who is Kwame Anthony Appiah? This is a question that he addresses with some frequency in his writings and lectures. He often reminds his intellectually heterogeneous audiences, which include lawyers, literary critics, museum-goers, and others, that he's first and foremost a philosopher. To this self-description, we might add the adjective "analytic." His earliest books were highly technical engagements with the philosophy of language, Assertion a…
The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Poetry
The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Poetry is the first collection of essays to explore postcolonial poetry through regional, historical, political, formal, textual, gender, and comparative approaches. The essays encompass a broad range of English-speakers from the Caribbean, Africa, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands; the former settler colonies, such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, especially non-Europeans; Ireland, Britain's oldest…

The Local Poem in a Global Age
Poetry and Tourism in a Global Age
In a global age of accelerated movement across vast spaces, how does poetry coincide with tourism and how are they distinct? What can we learn about poetry from tourism and about tourism from poetry? Close analysis of key postwar poems self-consciously entwined with tourism as their discursive "other" may suggest possible paths toward understanding an important dimension of poetry in our time. Their self-ironizing literary tourism, which recogniz…

The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century English Poetry
The last century was characterised by an extraordinary flowering of the art of poetry in Britain. These specially commissioned essays by some of the most highly regarded poetry critics offer a stimulating and reliable overview of English poetry of the twentieth century. The opening section on contexts will both orientate readers relatively new to the field and provide provocative syntheses for those already familiar with it. Following the terms i…
Modernist Bricolage, Postcolonial Hybridity
Modernist Bricolage, Postcolonial Hybridity Jahan Ramazani (bio) I arise and go with William Butler Yeats to country Sligoville in the shamrock green hills of St. Catherine. So begins a recent homage by the Jamaican poet Lorna Goodison.1 We walk and palaver by the Rio Cobre till we hear tributaries join and sing, water songs of nixies. Dark tales of Maroon warriors, fierce women and men bush comrades of Cuchulain. We swap duppy stories, dark nigh…
Metaphor and Postcoloniality
M~ A etaphor and postcoloniality might seem to be unrelated and perhaps even antithetical as academic subjects. After all, isn't the analysis of metaphor wedded to universalist philosophy and formalist poetics, to Aristotle and the New Criticism? And isn't postcolonial literary analysis grounded in sociohistorical approaches to culture, race, and nationality, in critical methods that privilege narrative mimesis over lyric figuration? Perhaps. But…
Hardy and the Poetics of Melancholia
In an early poem entitled Her Immortality, Hardy considers the burden of the elegist in a secular time. Long before writing God's Funeral and before elegizing a century of blessed Hope in The Darkling Thrush, Hardy suggests that he can no longer count on God to help bestow immortality on the dead. A dead woman, forgotten by husband, children, and friends, pleads with the poet, her former lover, asking that he preserve her
