Nathaniel Mackey
From Walt Whitman to Amiri Baraka
Highlighting Nathaniel Mackey's multifaceted work, this book
embraces topics ranging from Walt Whitman's interest in phrenology
to the marginalization of African American experiential writing;
from Kamau Brathwaite's "calibanistic" language practices
to Federico García Lorca's flamenco aesthetic of duende
and its continuing repercussions; from H.D.'s desert measure
and coastal way of knowing to the altered spatial disposition
of Miles Davis's trumpet sound; from Robert Duncan's Vietnam
War poetry to the emancipatory potential of collaborative practices;
from serial poetics to diasporic syncretism; from the lyric poem's
present-day predicaments to gnosticism. Offering illuminating
commentary on these and other artists including Amiri Baraka,
Mississippi Fred McDowell, Wilson Harris, Jack Spicer, John Coltrane,
Jay Wright, and Bob Kaufman, Paracritical Hinge also sheds
light on Mackey's own work as a poet, fiction writer, and editor.
Nathaniel Mackey is
professor of literature at the University of California, Santa
Cruz, and author of several books, including Discrepant Engagement:
Dissonance, Cross-Culturality, and Experimental Writing.
