Abstract

[“To world is to enclose,” writes Eric Hayot, “but also to exclude. What falls in the ambit of those enclosures and exclusions will determine the political meaning of any given act of world-making, as it does so clearly in our debates in world literature” (On Literary Worlds 40). To be sure, a study of only four poets working squarely within mainstream, metropolitan modes of writing inevitably performs a number of exclusions. My preference for formal or what might be called “academic” poetry often in conversation with the legacy of Anglo-modernism is necessarily shaped by my own professional training, reading practices, and occupation at a private institution of higher learning in the United States. These omissions could be extended almost endlessly. As is evident by now, I have foresworn a totalizing account or a teleological literary history that would track the development of canonical forms in English-language poetry across the world. Clearly, no study of global anglophone poetry can be comprehensive.]
