"In a tour de force of lyrical theory, Joshua Clover boldly reimagines how we understand both pop music and its social context in a vibrant exploration of a year famously described as “the end of history.” Amid the historic overturnings of 1989, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, pop music also experienced striking changes. Vividly conjuring cultural sensations and events, Clover tracks the emergence of seemingly disconnected phenome ..."

This volume takes as its subject the troubled sleep of late modernity, from the grandeur and failure of megacities to the retreats and displacements of the suburbs. The power of crowds and architecture commingles with the alienation and idleness of the observer, caught ..."

"Jorie Graham claims Clover's poetry as "a poetic manifesto as well as a prayer-book for the millennial generation." Winner of the 1996 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, the poetry collection says more about the state of art in American poetry than it illuminates its subject matter which deftly jumps from referencing death camps to Rodney King. The language is beautiful, delirious, a little hallucinatory, and so, final ..."

""In time of crisis, we summon up our strength," wrote poet Muriel Rukeyser. This collection gathers poems--from the eve of the twenty-first century to the month following Trump's election--to mark a moment of political rupture, summoning the collective strength found in the languages of resistance and memory, subversion and declamation, struggle and hope. Poetry is a counterforce. We offer these poems to readers as Rukeyser did--"not wa ..."

"Whereas someone like EPMD might have taken an entire loop and stuck with it,
which meant that they only had to pay one artist. Stay Free!: So is that one reason
why a lot of popular hip-hop songs today just use one hook, one primary sample,
instead of a collage of different sounds? Chuck D: Exactly. There's only one
person to answer to. Dr. Dre changed things when he did The Chronic and took
something like Leon Haywood's “I Want'a ..."
