The Point is to Change it: Poetry and Criticism in the Continuing Present - Modern & Contemporary Poetics
Jerome J. McGann
Argues that contemporary language-oriented writing implies a marked change in the way we think about our poetic tradition on one hand and in the future of criticism on the other. This book focuses on Walter Benjamin and Gertrude Stein as important intellectual resources because both see the history of poetry as a crisis of the present.
