This volume takes as its subject the troubled sleep of late modernity, from the grandeur and failure of megacities to the retreats and displacements of the suburbs. The power of crowds and architecture commingles with the alienation and idleness of the observer, caught between "the brutal red dream/Of the collective" and "the parade/Of the ideal citizen." The book's action takes place in these gaps, "dead spaces beside the endlessly grieving stream." The frozen tableau of the spectacle meets its double in the sense that something is always about to happen. Political furies and erotic imaginings coalesce and escape within a welter of unmoored allusions, encounters, citations, and histories, the dreams possible within the modern's excess of signification-as if to return revolutionary possibility to the regime of information by singing it its own song. 410 0$aNew California poetry ;$v16. 606 $aAmerican poetry 610 $a20th century. 610 $aalienation. 610 $aallusions. 610 $aamerica. 610 $aamerican literature. 610 $aamerican poetry. 610 $aamerican poets. 610 $aarchitecture. 610 $aart and literature. 610 $aaspiring poets. 610 $aaward winner. 610 $acontemporary poetry. 610 $acontemporary poets. 610 $aenglish majors. 610 $aeroticism. 610 $alit students. 610 $aliterary critics. 610 $aliterary studies. 610 $amodern histories. 610 $amodern perspective. 610 $amodern poets. 610 $amodernity. 610 $aobservations. 610 $apoems. 610 $apoetry collection. 610 $apoetry. 610 $apolitical poems. 610 $asleep issues. 610 $asuburban landscape. 610 $asuburbs. 610 $atroubled sleep. 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 676 $a811/.54 700 $aClover$b Joshua$01473434 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789000503321 996 $aThe totality for kids$93783421 997 $aUNINA
