The book investigates various personal and poetic communities, including Meyer's connections to first- and second-generation \"New American\" poets; the intertwining of his literary, publishing, and personal relationship with Jonathan Williams; his literary apprenticeships and occasional breaks with senior postwar poets; and Meyer's engagements with and idiosyncratic development of poetic techniques, such as channelling\/mediumship, translation, and the use of personae. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMartrich's investigation unfolds through a theoretical engagement with hauntology, addressing and redressing gaps, absences, and \"specters\" (including those of Jack Spicer, Sappho, and Strato) in both Meyer's work and its literary-critical reception. The study concludes with an annotated bibliographical checklist of Meyer's books from 1971 to 2025, and includes a preface by Peter O'Leary and a coda by Erica Van Horn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-02-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032115041\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-11505-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 186\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44676905599116,"sku":"9783032115041","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032115041.jpg?v=1772933323","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032115041","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
