Ammons and Comic Badness -- Terrance Hayes: Floundering Interiors -- Coming to Terms with Our Self: Morgan Parker, Natalie Shapero, Monica Youn. 330 8 $aA poet walks into a bar ... this book explores the unexpected comic opportunities within recent American poems about deeply personal, often embarrassing, experiences. Lyric poems, the book finds, can be surprising sites of a shifting, unruly comedy, as seen in the work of John Berryman, Robert Lowell, A. R. Ammons, Terrance Hayes, Morgan Parker, Natalie Shapero, and Monica Youn. The book draws out the ways in which key American poets have struggled with persistent expectations about what expressive poetry can and should do. It reveals how the modern lyric, rather than bestowing order on the poet's thoughts and emotions, can center on impropriety and confusion, formal breakage and linguistic unruliness, and self-observation and self-staging. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHumor in literature 610 $aaesthetics of comedy, Shameful self, Humor in American poetry, comic theory. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHumor in literature. 676 $a811/.509 700 $aMcRae$b Calista$f1986-$01664404 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809468303321 996 $aLyric as comedy$94022409 997 $aUNINA
