Reviews
"A highly rewarding set of essay reviews, which covers a lot of literary poetic ground."--Clark Allison, Tears in the Fence, "I knew I was going to be entertained and informed by one of the most astute critics of our time and, particularly, of the avant-gardes of our time. Her inquisitive intelligence always turns up something new."--Robert Sheppard, Stride magazine, "Friend of John Cage and John Ashbery, indefatigable explainer of the avant-garde, Marjorie Perloff is a critic of international standing whose close readings analyze modernist seriousness as well as postmodernist playfulness, relishing especially the radical difficulty of the Language Poets she has long championed. . . . Her observation that 'the book review is by definition the site of controversy' rings true, as does her wish for the best literary criticism to be 'always, in the end, both evaluative and engaged.' The latter words certainly apply to her own."--Jules Smith, Times Literary Supplement, "This collection is a record of one of the best and most influential critical minds in contemporary poetry and poetics. It is both timely and timeless."--Yunte Huang, author of Transpacific Imaginations: History, Literature, Counterpoetics

Synopsis
One of our most important contemporary critics, Marjorie Perloff has been a widely published and influential reviewer, especially of poetry and poetics, for over fifty years. Circling the Canon, Volume II focuses on the second half of her prolific career, showcasing reviews from 1995 through her 2017 reconsiderations of Jonathan Culler's theory of the lyric and William Empson's classic Seven Types of Ambiguity . In this volume Perloff provides insight into the twenty-first-century literary landscape, from revaluations of its leading poets and translations of European poetry from Goethe to the Brazilian Noigandres group and interart studies and performance art. Key issues of the past few decades, such as the controversy over the role and function of poetry anthologies, receive extended treatment, and Perloff frequently voices a minority view, as in the case of the acclaimed British poet Philip Larkin., Circling the Canon, Volume II focuses on the second half of Marjorie Perloff's prolific career, showcasing reviews from 1995 through her 2017 reconsiderations of Jonathan Culler's theory of the lyric and William Empson's classic Seven Types of Ambiguity., One of our most important contemporary critics, Marjorie Perloff has been a widely published and influential reviewer, especially of poetry and poetics, for over fifty years.
