520 |a "Poems of the American Empire argues that careful attention to a particular strain of twentieth-century lyric poetry yields a counter-history of American global power. The period the book covers--from Ezra Pound's A Draft of XXX Cantos in 1930 to Cathy Park Hong's Engine Empire in 2012--roughly matches the ascent and decline of the American empire. The diverse poems that appear in this book are united by the integration of epic forms into the lyric poem, a combination that violates a fundamental generic framework exemplified by each genre's relationship to time. As a result, Poems of the American Empire makes a groundbreaking contribution to lyric studies by insisting that lyric time is the key to understanding the genre. These poems demonstrate the lyric form's ability to represent the totality of history, which makes American imperial power visible in its fullness. Neither an empty celebration of American exceptionalism nor a catalog of atrocities, these poems allow us to see both. Her book should appeal to literary and American studies scholars and courses alike"--  |c Provided by publisher.
