A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation.In The Skin of Meaning, Aaron Shurin has collected thirty years worth of his provocative essays. Fueled by gender and queer studies and combined with radical traditions in poetry, Shurins essays combine a highly personal and lyrical vision with a trenchant social analysis of poetrys possibilities. Whether hes examining innovations in poetic form, analyzing the gestures of drag queens, or dissecting the language of AIDS, Shurins writing is evocative, his investigations rigorous, and his point of view unabashed.Shurins poetic practice braids together many strands in contemporary, innovative writing, from the San Francisco Renaissance to Language Poetry and New Narrative Writing. His mentorships with Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov; his studies at New College of California, where he was the first graduate of the epochal Poetics Program; and his years of teaching writing provide a rich background for these essays. San Francisco provides the color and context for formulations of prosody now, propositions of textual collage, and theories of radical narrativity, while the heart of the book searches through the dire years of the AIDS epidemic to uncover poetic meaning, and make the heroes heroes.
