Writing in Real Time. Emergent Poetics from Whitman to the Digital, Hardback/***

Synthesizing systems theory, literary history, and recent debates in poetics, this book offers a theory and history of the American long poem as an emergent system. This approach shows that the long poem is a dynamic, intricate, and culturally-entangled literary practice, with continued relevance for our digital age.
