Description: "In The Material, the Real, and the Fractured Self, Susan Harrow explores the interrelation of subjectivity, materiality, and representation in the poetry and related texts of four modern French writers: Arthur Rimbaud, Guillaume Apolinaire, Francis Ponge, and Jacques Reda." "Harrow addresses the widely perceived marginalization of poetry in the writing/theory debate, demonstrating that the emergence of a self at once shaped by and straining against material, historical, subjective, and cultural impediments reveals fertile relations between theory and poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
