Kenneth Goldsmith’s writing has been called "some of the
most exhaustive and beautiful collage work yet produced in poetry"
by Publishers Weekly. Goldsmith is the author of ten books of
poetry. He teaches writing at the University of Pennsylvania, where
he is a senior editor of PennSound, an online poetry archive.
Compiled by star practitioner Kenneth Goldsmith and lead academic
liaison Craig Dworkin to be not so much a treasury of verse as an
argument-by-demonstration, this anthology will excite the reader
who wants more than normal literature gives her, as well as
annoy—and, perhaps, haunt—the one who values her belief that normal
literature gives her everything already." —Los Angeles Review of
Books
c"One rarely likes to be told how to read, where to position a text
in the context of its literary theory and formal practices, or who
the writing owes its legacy to. However, one of the greatest
strengths of Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith's Against
Expression is that it does precisely that." —Drunken Boat
