Produktbeschreibung

Harryette Mullen is one of the most exciting innovative poets writing today. This landmark volume is the first of its kind, collecting Mullen's works from 1981 to the present day. Her Silver-Tongued Companion offers a full collection of Mullen's later poetry, with a sampler of poems from her early published work. The volume includes the collections Recyclopedia, Sleeping with the Dictionary, Urban Tumbleweed, Broken Glish: Five Prose Poems, a sampler of poems from Blues Baby, and several previously uncollected poems. Five compelling scholarly essays accompany the texts, offering new insight into Mullen's works, ranging beyond contemporary poetry to consider Mullen's works in wider contexts. Foregrounding Mullen's formal innovation, this Critical Edition will be indispensable to scholars and general readers of Mullen's poetry, and contemporary avant-garde writing more widely.
