Presents a critical destruction of the 'New Criticism' of modern poetry and a destructive reading of the poetry of Whitman, Stevens, and Olson. Also includes an analysis of how modern and postmodern poetry destroys the notion of 'tradition' in the sense of a set of interrelations among texts, and how that destruction should affect criticism of modern and postmodern poetry.
