  Traces the historically specific, intertextual pathways of a single, if polyvalent, philosophical term, emptiness, as it is transformed within 20th-century American poetry and poetics. Formulating interpretive frames as hybrid as the texts being read, this book unveils one of important yet largely unknown stories of American poetry and poetics.
