Contents How to tell the difference between life and art -- Industrial poetics : a Chautauqua multiplex in fits and starts -- Technical ex-communication : how a former professional engineer becomes a former English professor -- Labor, manufacturing, workplace, community : four conclusions in search of an ending
Summary Through a dizzying array of references to subjects ranging from engineering to poetry, on-the-job experiences in academia and industry, conflicts between working-class and intellectual labor, the privatization of universities, and the contradictions of the modern environment, Joe Amato's Industrial Poetics mounts a boisterous call for poetry communities to be less invested in artistic self-absorption and more concerned about social responsibility
