Affect, Psychoanalysis and American Poetry challenges the dominant metaphor of poetic containers by turning to recent poetic texts that represent the contagious and uncontainable feelings of anxiety, grief, shame, and rage. From modernists Wallace Stevens to mid-century poets Randall Jarrell, Robert Creeley and Ted Berrigan, and finally to contemporary practitioners Aaron Kunin and Claudia Rankine, John Steen argues that new poetic techniques arise from the poetic productivity of negative affects, and that a new model of poetic value can be found in poems that are - instead of containers - permeable, social spaces of intimacy, attachment, and withdrawal. Drawing from object relations, psychoanalysis, queer theory, and affect theory, Affect, Psychoanalysis, and American Poetry finds poetry's singularity in its unique capacity to represent anew the transmissible, relational, and uncontainable valences of feeling that structure and destabilize social life"--$bProvided by publisher."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aAffect (Psychology) in literature 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEmotions in literature 606 $aPoetry$xPsychological aspects 606 $2Literary studies: poetry & poets 615 0$aAffect (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEmotions in literature. 615 0$aPoetry$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a811/.609 700 $aSteen$b John$g(John W.),$01676575 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825444103321 996 $aAffect, psychoanalysis, and American poetry$94042869 997 $aUNINA
