It critiques essentialist links between form and extraformal values and revises modernist biases produced by the innovation-versus-conservation framework. The analysis argues that Frank O’Hara, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery, and James Merrill cannot be read as politically conservative or culturally oppositional on formal grounds, and that their work reveals how meanings are rhetorical rather than inherent in forms.","# POLITICSAND FORMIN\n\nPOSTMODERNPOETRY  \nOHara,Bishop,Ashbery&Merrill  \nMutlu Konuk Blasing  \nApproaching post-World War II poetry from a postmodern criticalperspective,this study challenges the prevailing assumption that ex-perimental forms signify political opposition while traditional formsare politically conservative.Such essentialist alignments of forms withextraformal values,and the oppositional framework of innovation ver-sus conservation that they yield,reflect modernist biases inappropriatefor reading postwar poetry.Blasing defines postmodern poetry as abreak with modernism's valorization of technique and its implicit col-lusion with technological progress.She shows that four major postwarpoets -Frank O'Hara,Elizabeth Bishop,John Ashbery,and JamesMerrill (two traditional and two experimental)-cannot be read aspolitically conservative because formally traditional or as culturally op-positional because formally experimental.All of these poets acknowl-edge that no one form is more natural than another,and no givenform grants them a superior position for judging cultural and politicalarrangements.Their work plays an important cultural role precisely byrevealing that meanings and values do not inhere in forms but arealways and irreducibly rhetorical.  \nCAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE  \n# Politics and Form in Postmodern Poetry\n\nCAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE  \nEditor:Eric Sundquist,University of Califomia,Los Angeles  \nFounding Editor:Albert Gelpi,Stanford University  \nAdvisory Board  \nNina Baym,University of Illinois,Urbana-ChampaignSacvan Bercovitch,Harvard UniversityAlbert Gelpi,Stanford UniversityMyra Jehlen,University of PennsylvaniaCarolyn Porter,University of Califomia,BerkeleyRobert Stepto,Yale UniversityTony Tanner,King's College,Cambridge University  \nBooks in the Series  \n94.Mutlu Konuk Blasing,Politics and Form in Postmodem Poetry:O'Hara,Bishop,Ashbery,and Merill  \n93.Rafia Zafar and Deborah Garfield (eds.),Harriet Jacobs and Incidents in theLife of a Slave Girl:New Critical Essays  \n92.CarolJ.Singley,Edith Wharton:Matters of Mind and Spirit  \n91.Richard Walsh,Novel Arguments:Reading Innovative American Fiction  \n90.Nancy Bentley,Customs and Manners:The Ethnographic Tum in HawthomeJames,and Wharton  \n89.Cindy Weinstein,The Literature of Labor and the Labors of Literature:Allegoryin Nineteenth-Century American Fiction  \n88.Rafael Perez-Torres,Movements in Chicano Poetry:Against Myths,AgainstMargins  \n87.Rita Barnard,The Great Depression and the Culture of Abundance  \n86.Kenneth Asher,T.S.Eliot and Ideology  \n85.Robert Milder,Reimagining Thoreau  \n84.Blanche H.Gelfant,Cross-Cultural Reckonings:A Triptych of Russian,American,and Canadian Texts  \n83.Robert Tilton,Pocahontas:The Evolution of an American Narative  \n82.Joan Burbick,The Language of Health and the Culture of Nationalism inNineteenth-Century America  \n81.Rena Fraden,Blueprints for a Black Federal Theatre,1935-1939  \n80.Ed Folsom,Walt Whitman's Native Representations  \n79.Alan Filreis,Modemism from Right to Left  \n78.Michael E.Staub,Voices of Persuasion:The Politics of Representation in 1930sAmerica  \n77.Katherine Kearns,Robert Frost and a Poetics of Appetite  \n76.Peter Halter,The Revolution in the Visual Arts and the Poetry of William CarlosWilliams  \n75.Barry Ahearn,William Carlos Williams and Alterity:The Early Poetry  \n74.Linda A.Kinnahan,Poetics of the Feminne:Authority and Literary Tradition inWilliam Carlos Williams,Mina Loy,Denise Levertov,and Kathleen Fraser  \n73.Bernard Rosenthal,Salem Story:Reading the Witch Trials of 1692  \n# Politics and Form inPostmodern Poetry\n\nO'Hara,Bishop,Ashbery,and Merrill  \nMUTLU KONUK BLASINGBrown University  \nCAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESSCambridge,New York,Melbourne,Madrid,Cape Town,Singapore,São Paulo,Delhi  \nCambridge University PressThe Edinburgh Building,Cambridge CB28RU,UK  \nPublished in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press,New York  \nwww.cambridge.or","cbCaieZvZfYFi5RS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieZvZfYFi5RS","pdf",5641135,236,"English","en",105,"# Introduction: Poetry after Modernism\n## Frank O'Hara: \"How Am I to Become a Legend?\"\n## Elizabeth Bishop: \"Repeat, Repeat, Repeat;
