Karen Simecek is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Warwick University, UK.
In this engaging and subtly argued study, Karen Simecek draws illuminating comparisons between poetry on the page and poetry in performance, shedding new light on the thought that both, in classical terms, can in their own ways “instruct” as well as give “pleasure”. * Peter Lamarque, Professor of Philosophy, University of York, UK * Focusing on contemporary poetry and bringing the lyric together with performance poetry, Karen Simecek’s fine book develops a conception of voice as a relational centering of perspective and demonstrates the cognitive value of poetry as embodied action, engaging readers and listeners in patterns of value and encouraging humility. * Jonathan Culler, Class of 1916 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, emeritus, Cornell University, USA * Makes a compelling case for the possibilities of such a paradigm [performed poetry] as a lens for recognizing gaps in our models and experiences of poetic value — and for considering the wider implications of those gaps for our lives as members of academic, literary and political communities. * British Journal of Aesthetics *
