The Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde Poetics is a probing examination of how the writing of sexual love undergoes a radical revision by avant-garde poets in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Today, the exploration of love by poets--long a fixture of Western poetic tradition--is thought to be in decline, with love itself understood to be a mere ideological overlay for the more "real" entities of physical sex and desire.
