Jennison, Ruth; Murphet, Julian

The Other Minimal Demand

Clover, Joshua; Nealon, Chris

Pages: 21 –35

[Presented in the form of a dialogue, the authors begin from a wholesale rejection of any claims that poetry is itself an instrument of struggle toward communism, either as provisioner of ideological supplements to struggle or interrogator of capital’s concealed reality, claims founded on the...

The Relation Between Poetry and Poems Is Political, Sometimes

Pryor, Sean

Pages: 37 –52

[The relation between poetry and poems is an old problem. It involves more than a relation between concept and instance, but even in the most abstract or metaphorical contexts, when poetry seems to shake off the shackles of mere poems, a need for instances persists. In this essay, I consider how...

“Everywhere, Worlds Connect”: Realist Poetics and the Ecologies of Capitalism

Ronda, Margaret

Pages: 53 –74

[This chapter extends Lukács’s ideas of form and totality into new terrain, ecological and aesthetic, in the present, considering how particular literary works might consider the totality in socioecological terms.

Toscano, Alberto

Pages: 109 –129

[This chapter seeks to redress the neglect of poetics in the reception of Italian workerist Marxism (operaismo) by exploring some writings on Vladimir Mayakovsky by Alberto Asor Rosa, the foremost operaista literary critic. For Asor Rosa, Mayakovsky embodies the utopian premise of the...

Sean Bonney: Poet Out of Time

Brady, Andrea

Pages: 131 –159

[This chapter examines some of the gothic tropes in the work of British poet Sean Bonney, alongside his allusions to folk song, Ranter rhetoric, the Rimbaud of the Commune, and the submerged histories of London. These ‘countertraditions’ contribute to Bonney’s poetics of revolutionary...

Notes on Poetry and Communism: Abolition, Solidarity, Love

Halpern, Rob

Pages: 161 –183

[This chapter aims to explore poetry’s potential to help us think and feel the relations between capitalist predation and indefinite detention. Without suggesting or appropriating a radical emancipatory politics for poetry per se, it tracks poetry’s potential to pursue the subjective registration...

“Wide as Targes Let Them Be,” or, How a Poem Is a Barricade

Murphet, Julian

Pages: 185 –207

[Reflecting on the proliferation in recent left-wing poetry of figures of the barricade, this chapter ponders the relationship between poetry and the “linguistic commons,” or the commons of language as such. Rather than construing the communist qualities of poetry in terms of its explicit...

“A Whole New Set of Stars”: Poetics and Revolutionary Consciousness

Jennison, Ruth

Pages: 209 –229

[This chapter argues that anti-capitalist poetry encodes the contours of revolutionary consciousness through its formal techniques of parataxis, nested figurative language, catalogues of affect, and distended temporalization of historical time. In close readings of works by Langston Hughes,...
