description: US poet and critic Walzer presents 14 essays on a movement called constructive postmodernism, which such theorists as Frederick Turner identify as helping chart new directions for literary theory past the fragmentary impasses of deconstruction, identity politics, and cultural studies. They widen the focus of his 1994 The Ghost of Expansive Poetry and Postmodernism to inquire more broadly about the impact of constructive postmodernism on formal and cultural readings of American poetry. Some have been previously published in earlier forms. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
