Elizabeth Fowler

Poetry and the Built Environment (eBook, PDF)

A Theory of the Flesh of Art

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about how poems, as well as other kinds of art, show us how to experience them. It offers a new approach to criticism that recognises poetry as one among the arts of the built environment, insistently demonstrating art's ability to shape our understandings and practices of spatiality, movement, sensation, relation, and presence.
