More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between musical notation and long poetry, this critical study explores how North American poets from the mid-20th century to today utilize scores to enhance their work. Carruthers presents five case studies of notable poets, including Langston Hughes and Anne Waldman, demonstrating that the integration of musical elements not only shapes the form and temporal structure but also influences ethical and political perspectives within their expansive poems. This analysis reveals the deeper significance of treating poetry as a musical score.
