New Precisionism
|
|
New Precisionism is a contemporary school of poetry. The name was coined by Ron Silliman. New Precisionist poets include Graham Foust, Joseph Massey and Chris McCreary. The movement as conceived by Ron Silliman bears a strong resemblance to one earlier conceived by Stephen Burt in his essay The New Thing: The object lessons of recent American poetry. Whereas Burt outlines overlapping schools of neo-Objectivism, Silliman traces a very similar trajectory while rejecting any confusion with "Objectivism, neo- or otherwise". New Precisionists, according to Silliman, reject "the glaze" of "the so-called well-wrought urn of two generations ago" for reasons "less to do with craft than with ethics". |
