What is Savage Sight/Constructed Noise: Poetic Adaptations of Painterly Techniques in the French and American Avant-Gardes (North Carolina Studies in the Romance Languages and Literature, 276) about?

This Book Examines Poetic Adaptations Of Painterly Techniques In Works By Writers Such As Guillaume Apollinaire, Pierre Reverdy, Andre Breton, Frank O'hara, And John Ashbery - All Chosen For The Experimentalism Of Their Poetry As Well As For The Quality Of Their Critical Writings On Art. Close Attention Is Paid To Essays On Painters Identified With Cubism, Futurism, And Dada-surrealism In France And With Abstract Expressionism And New Realism In The United States. Selected Poems Are Examined In Light Of The Critical Essays And Are Taken Either As Illustrations Of A New Plastic Poetic Or As Novel Hybrids Of Plastic And Literary Strategies. Although The Parallels Between Modern Poetry And Painting Go Beyond Avant-garde Techniques, This Book Emphasizes Such Innovations As Collage, Chance Operations, And Automatism To Demonstrate The Shift In Aesthetic Attention From Finished Products To Creative Processes.--jacket. Ch. I. Guillaume Apollinaire -- Ch. Ii. Pierre Reverdy -- Ch. Iii. Andre Breton -- Ch. Iv. Frank O'hara -- Ch. V. John Ashberry. By David Lehardy Sweet. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 283-291).
