Expanding Verse

"Expanding Verse is original in terms of the selection of the corpus; timely in terms of the interdisciplinary scope; and substantial, in terms of the extent of research and the wealth of knowledge imparted. Andrew Campana demonstrates the genre's importance through careful consideration of each poet whose experimental creativity is eloquently introduced and assessed. Warm and inviting--readers will be left feeling much informed about the poets' respective lives, challenges, and adventures."--Atsuko Sakaki, author of Train Travel as Embodied Space-Time in Narrative Theory "Expanding Verse impresses on every page as a stunning work of scholarly rigor and innovative thinking about a complex problem at the core of humanities. Campana's brilliant understanding of the materiality of poetry rethinks the literary form, challenging us to reconfigure literary and media studies."--Jonathan E. Abel, author of The New Real: Media and Mimesis in Japan from Stereographs to Emoji
