But what happens when poems confront the extraordinarily rational information technologies that are everywhere in the academy, not to mention everyday life?Examining a broad array of electronics-including the radio, telephone, tape recorder, Cold War-era computers, and modern-day web browsers-Seth Perlow considers how these technologies transform poems that we dont normally consider "digital." From fetishistic attachments to digital images of Emily Dickinsons manuscripts to Jackson Mac Lows appropriation of a huge book of random numbers originally used to design thermonuclear weapons, these investigations take Perlow through a revealingly eclectic array of work, offering both exciting new voices and reevaluations of poets we thought we knew.With close readings of Gertrude Stein, Frank OHara, Amiri Baraka, and many others, The Poem Electric constructs a distinctive lineage of experimental writers, from the 1860s to today. Ultimately, Perlow mounts an important investigation into how electronic media allows us to distinguish poetic thought from rationalism. Posing a necessary challenge to the privilege of information in the digital humanities, The Poem Electric develops new ways of reading poetry, alongside and against the electronic equipment that is now ubiquitous in our world. Author Biography Seth Perlow is assistant teaching professor of English at Georgetown University.
