Sauvage: Essays on Anglophone Poetry by Richard Owens

Broad in scale and scope, this volume attends to developments on the terrain of contemporary Anglophone poetry deeply articulated with issues of balance, justice, measure, and distance as these variously cohere, come apart and recombine across the unfolding present. Decentered and transatlantic in orientation, the essays aggregated in this volume emerge from a variety of social contexts, including the popular and the scholarly, print and digital forums, the cosmopolitan and the local, the center and the margin. Areas of interest addressed range from lyric to epic, from late twentieth and twenty-first century poetics to eighteenth century antiquarianism, from phenomenology to textual criticism, from contemporary critical theory to intellectual currents specific to folk forms. The primary target of this volume, however, remains singular: the necessary labor of the poetic in the present.
