Five StarsBy CustomerBrand new0 of 8 people found the following review helpful. much is missingBy Janek JaneczukThere are a few foundational books I want to recommend first regarding the history of performance/literary theater: Towards a Poor Theatre (Theatre Arts (Routledge Paperback))primarily Grotowski, linked here. In an age of excess and spectacle Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle as described by Hedges in the book I linked, we have lost all sense of humanity along with common sense. Look at the extreme greed of global capitalists and the debates from "conservative" Republicans in the U.S. running for president where Christian values take a backseat to politicized religious ideology. "Humanity suffers when The Many suffer for the wealth of a elite few." I'm quoting poet Hedwig Gorski whose book linked here documents Intoxication: Heathcliff on Powell Street how they put Grotowski's Poor Theater into practice in the 1970s in a skewed way, maybe a sloppy American way compared to the long traditions of Polish theatre. The results were fascinating, to say the least. It is fitting that this book is still available and in print. For those less interested in theory, you might be interested in knowing what the actors in the film My Dinner with Andre linked here My Dinner with Andre were discussing: Grotowski theatre exercises, theory, and practice. Years ago, I had the privilege of seeing a Grotowski trained actor from South America do a solo performance, and my life was changed forever. I highly recommend Grotowski essential book as a foundation for all the individual theater movements, including slam/hip hop of today, and the two books and DVD I linked here as essential for anyone interested in the real history of American poetry in performance and the spoken word movement including slam. "Tyler Hoffman brings a fresh perspective to the subject of performance poetry, and this comes at an excellent time, when there is such a vast interest across the country and around the world in the performance of poetry. He makes important connections, explaining things in a manner that remains provocative, interesting, and accessible."---Jay Parini, Middlebury CollegeAmerican Poetry in Performance: From Walt Whitman to Hip Hop is the first book to trace a comprehensive history of performance poetry in America, covering 150 years of literary history from Walt Whitman through the rap-meets-poetry scene. It reveals how the performance of poetry is bound up with the performance of identity and nationality in the modern period and carries its own shifting cultural politics. This book stands at the crossroads of the humanities and the social sciences; it is a book of literary and cultural criticism that deals squarely with issues of "performance," a concept that has attained great importance in the disciplines of anthropology and sociology and has generated its own distinct field of performance studies. American Poetry in Performance will be a meaningful contribution both to the field of American poetry studies and to the fields of cultural and performance studies, as it focuses on poetry that refuses the status of fixed aesthetic object and, in its variability, performs versions of race, class, gender, and sexuality both on and off the page.Relating the performance of poetry to shifting political and cultural ideologies in the United States, Hoffman argues that the vocal aspect of public poetry possesses (or has been imagined to possess) the ability to help construct both national and subaltern communities. American Poetry in Performance explores public poets' confrontations with emergent sound recording and communications technologies as those confrontations shape their mythologies of the spoken word and their corresponding notions about America and Americanness.
