Overview
Drawing on the work of contemporary American poets from Ashbery to Zukofsky, Joseph M. Conte elaborates an innovative typology of postmodern poetic forms. In Conte's view, looking at recent poetry in terms of the complementary methods of seriality and proceduralism offers a rewarding alternative to the familiar analytic dichotomy of "open" and "closed" forms. Unending Design will be welcomed by anyone interested in American poetry in particular and postmodernism more generally.Editorials

Conte considers the twin definitions of postmodernism: that as being synonymous with link between current poets and those of the recent past, analyzing the works of Duncan, Creeley, Blackburn, Ashbery, Zukofsky, and others.
