- Summary:
- Paracritical Hinge is a collection of varied yet interrelated pieces highlighting Nathaniel Mackey's multifaceted work as writer and critic. It embraces topics ranging from Walt Whitman's interest in phrenology to the marginalization of African American experimental writing; from Kamau Brathwaite's "calibanistic" language practices to Federico García Lorca's flamenco aesthetic of duende and its continuing repercussions; from H. D.'s desert measure and coastal way of knowing to the altered spatial disposition of Miles Davis's trumpet sound; from Robert Duncan's serial poetics to diasporic syncretism; from the lyric poem's present-day predicaments to gnosticism. Offering illuminating commentary on these and other artists including Amiri Baraka, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Wilson Harris, Jack Spicer, John Coltrane, Jay Wright, and Bob Kaufman, Paracritical Hinge also sheds light on Mackey's own work as a poet, fiction writer, and editor.
- Notes:
- Includes discography and index.
- "The present volume of essays, talks, notes, and interviews picks up where Discrepant Engagement: Dissonance, Cross-Culturality, and Experimental Writing, my previous book of essays, left off. I've continued to address the matrix of issues that the subtitle of that volume announced, doing so in relation to the work of the writers dealt with there as well as others while extending its recourse to music, chief among the nonliterary expressive practices it invokes and reflects upon..."-- Introduction, ECIP galley.
